Act Of War

This ain't no battle honey this ain't no fight
How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night
If I take a drink is that against the law
And if I have a good time do you call that an act of war
Well you better believe it boy this house is your home
I didn't build it up for you to live here on your own
And if you think it's easy to forget about me
You'd better think twice you'd better believe it's an act of war
We're living on the front line you and me
Fighting on this battleground of misery
Oh go ahead bring on your artillery
And we'll make this an act of war
Give it all you've got 'cause I'm all dug in
Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin
Winner takes all let the best man win
And we call it an act of war
Well I'm a man of convenience I work a long hard day
After twelve long hours ain't I got the right to play
If living together is getting in the way
Then I call that an act of war
Well if that's your game then honey two can play
I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way
Ain't no way honey this girl's gonna stay
I call it I call it an act of war
And it looks like time
Ain't been on our side
If we could turn the clock back
We might survive
This act of war
