There’s a war on the streets ahead
It’s a game that you won’t understand
If you don’t leave your weapons
If you don’t use your head
If you stick to your values
If you can’t stand the pain
So if you can’t hear the calling
Well you better stay away
It’s a war of man versus man

There’s a war on the streets ahead
It’s a fight with no blood to be shed
No it won’t bring us glory
And it won’t make us brave
No care for the wounded
No land to defend
No praise for the valiant
No sins to confess
Just a war of man versus man

It’s just a game, just a game, but we don’t need to play
It’s just a game, just a game, but we don’t need to play
It’s just a game, it’s just a game, but we don’t need to play
It’s just a game, it’s just a game, but we don’t need to play

There’s a war on the streets
Ain’t no rules you can follow or break
It’s the same old shame and it’s knocking you again
No lesson, no moral, no deeds we can learn
And you’ll see no heroes on this big sick parade
It’s just a war of man versus man

It’s just a game, just a game, but we don’t need to play
It’s just a game, just a game, but we don’t need to play
It’s just a game, it’s just a game, but we don’t need to play
It’s just a game, it’s just a game, but we don’t need to play
