When he was just a little boy,
He only had one favourite toy
And he had nothing on his mind,
He never left anything behind
No

As he got older, things got worse,
Like he'd been born under a curse
Things started to fall apart,
They weren't like they were at the start
No, it's like a civil war

Growing up,
It's like a civil war
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up,
It's like a civil war

And now that he was in his teens,
He'd started to learn what life means
Problems were still appearing,
They didn't look like disappearing
No

[Chorus]
