Tug Of War lyrics

(Lyrics: J. Harte, Music: B. Walker)

Somebody tell me is this life?
Somebody tell me is this war?
Please come and tell me what the hell is going on here.
I¡¯ve had all that I can take.
Now something¡¯s gotta give, or something¡¯s gonna break.

I¡¯m tired of getting shot down, every single time.
Every day it¡¯s live or die on the battle line.

Push and pull, life¡¯s a tug of war.
In the end, nobody wins¡­ is it really worth fighting for?
Push and pull, life¡¯s a tug of war.
I¡¯m on the ropes and I don¡¯t know if I can take it anymore.

I¡¯m always walking on the wire, always fighting in the fire.
I run for cover but there¡¯s nowhere I can turn to.

Nothing seems to set my mind at ease.
The nights so long for me.
Doin¡¯ time, tryin¡¯ not to lose my mind.

Every day I feel the knives turning in my side,
I¡¯m wounded, but I¡¯m moving on.
Just trying to stay alive.

(Chorus)

I¡¯m tired of getting shot down, every single time.
Every day it¡¯s live or die on the battle line.

(Chorus x2)
