We're making war, lover

We are not getting on

I will not change to keep the peace

You won't admit you're wrong

I've got a bellyful of grudges and I will not let them out

The wreckage of your previous life

You will not sort it out



The dirt we keep on raking

The giving up, the taking

And we keep on making war, darling

The stand off is coming

The wounds should heal without a scar

But the stitches keep on breaking

And you keep on phoning

And I keep on moaning

And we keep on making war



Sweetheart, destroying our best laid plans

I will not explain myself and you refuse to understand

Our friends all become traitors as we wave our piece of paper

The ammunition's loaded

And the troops are at the border

But I might be bluffing

And you might be faking

But we keep making war
