Citizen Fish - Small Scale Wars lyrics

Everything we do on a personal scale Taking 'we' to mean everyone who ever existed Is the basis for everything wrong in this world And of course everything are right as well But the list of wrongs that offend the soul Like the chance of being k**ed before we get old Is far far longer than the list of right, yeah Falling in love won't stop the war Falling in love won't stop the war Falling in love won't stop the war But hating other people might start some more You blame the politicians For making all the wrong decisions Which are just the same as ours But we haven't got that power That enforced domination So we take out our frustration On the weaker opposition Reinforce our egotism In our small scale wars On the disco floors Against the man next door Falling in love won't stop the war Falling in love won't stop the war Falling in love won't stop the war But hating other people might start some more You can blame the politicians - Small scale wars You blame the television - Small scale wars You can blame your education - Small scale wars Cost of living and inflation - Small scale wars But the basis for everything wrong in this world Is the way that people behave When you scorn the system but fight each other You're behaving exactly the same If you thought a bit more before starting the war Then maybe the structure would change Change! Sooner or later Falling in love won't stop the war Falling in love won't stop the war Falling in love won't stop the war But hating other people might start some more Falling in love won't stop the war Falling in love won't stop their war But hating other people might start some more
