Life During Wartime Lyrics - Green Day

1 [Sung by Billie Joe Armstrong]

2 [Originally by Pinhead Gunpowder]

3 Yeah we say making changes starts in the little things you do

4 Revolution begins at home but for most of us it ends there too, and

5 Doing something we're making changes like changing the brand of crap we buy,

6 We say it makes a difference but that's just another lie.

7 It used to be us and them and you and me.

8 And now we can't reach our potential without a common enemy,

9 A real war to fight against, instead of our petty disagreements,

10 How can I rationalize my life during wartime lie.

11 A call to action and a reaction,

12 Taking our lives in our own hands,

13 Instead of sitting around and talking about the same old stupid bands.

14 A war is going on right now,

15 And I'm not doing anything about it,

16 Without a crowd I'm not so loud,

17 I can't do anything by myself,

18 But that's just another lie.
