I been knockin' the walls down
Tryin' to get to you
But I won't wait forever
Ya gotta let me thru
Now I been diplomatic
But I don't know what for
'Cuz you hurt me, now just watch me
'Cuz I won't take no more
This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war
There will be no replacements
Ya better get your gun
Because I'm comin' after you
For everything you done
And then when you are captured
It won't be like before
'Cuz you teased me, deceived me
But this is what's in store
This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war
You avoid reality in the calm before the storm
It hurts me so to fight with you
But since you closed the door
This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war
This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war
You can't win this war
You can't win this war
