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
