It’s a War Songtext
von Carole King

The moon is full and I′m awake
And I don't know how much I can take
Before I get too angry to be sad
Too many people thinkin′ mean
Good ones few and far between
Takin' out on you
What they never had

It's a war, war, war any more
It′s a war, war, war every day
You′ve got to keep your guard up
If someone else is hard up
He'll try to steal your dreams away


Once I thought of compassion
As a feelin′ everybody has
Do unto others
That's the golden rule
But I found to my regret
People I had never met
Were out to get me, I was just a fool

It′s a war, war, war any more
It's a war, war, war every day
You′ve got to keep your guard up
If someone else is hard up
He'll try to steal your dreams away

I got a feeling deep within
With all the love and the hate there's been
Balance must be somewhere in between
I′m gonna work it out, I know
Someway someday before I go
But ′til then you know just what I mean

It's a war, war, war any more
It′s a war, war, war every day
You've got to keep your guard up
If someone else is hard up
He′ll try to steal your dreams away
Don't let him steal your dreams away
