LIZ PHAIR - Love / Hate lyrics

I was a mess in my open eyed youth

I grew up thinking

What's good for one, oppresses the other

It's my turn, my life, my way, mine, me

It made me crazy

I couldn't fight it

I couldn't wait to get away

It's a war

With the whole wide world

It's a war

With the boys and girls

It's a war

And nothin's gonna change

And nothin's gonna change

It's sister and brother, mother and daughter

Father, son, husband, wife, thing

It's drugs, it's hunger

It's race, sex, and government

Any way you look at it, you're part of it, you know it

The wrong inside you, can't get it right

You might as well get on the train

It's a war

With the whole wide world

It's a war

With the boys and girls

It's a war

And nothin's gonna change

And nothin's gonna change

The screen is so white, and it's so big

It's hard to get over the feeling, you're losing your mind

You offer the usher your ticket

You open your soda, see what guy you're sitting behind

You get excited, the lights go down

You get a > on the plane

It's a war

With the whole wide world

It's a war

With the boys and girls

It's a war

And nothin's gonna change

And nothin's gonna change

It's a war

All the give and take

It's a war

All the love and hate

It's a war

And nothin's gonna change

And nothin's gonna change

And nothin's gonna change

And nothin's gonna change

And nothin's gonna change

And nothin's gonna change

Nothin's gonna change

Nothin's gonna change

Nothin's gonna change

Nothin's gonna change
