It's Not a Bad Little War

I had a place to live in

I had a job worth quitting

I had some things I had to change

Mistakes, but we all make them

We celebrate being young

I had the chance to run away

And I wish upon, a wrong can't turn a right

Believe me

Then we are (then we are) our only chance in the world

Face your failures, and hope they'll see us through

We are (we are) the only chance in the world

So stand for something, 'cause somethings over due

And I don't ask for much

But this could define a lifetime

A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had

They called it education

I saw a means to an end

I saw my life another way

To live and die a king I thought there

Could be worse fate to land upon

And I'd go back home when it all blew up in my face

And I wish upon a sadder life that won't get turned to right

Believe me

Then we are (then we are) our only chance in the world

Face your failures, hope we'll see them through

We are (we are) the only chance in the world

So stand for something, 'cause somethings overdue

And I don't ask for much

But this could define a lifetime

A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had

You need a map to see how far

I was sticking out my neck

We all have things that we all second guess

And fears of being ordinary

And I'll wish upon a sadder life that a wrong can't turn a right

Believe me

That we are (we are) the only chance in the world

We are (we are) our only chance in the world

So stand for something, 'cause somethings overdue

And I don't ask for much

But this could define a lifetime

A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had

A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had
