It's a War - Carole King

The moon is full and I’m awake

And I don’t know how much

I can take

Before I get too angry to be sad

Too many people thinkin' mean

Good ones few and far between

Takin' out on you

What they never had

It’s a war, war

War any more

It’s a war, war

War every day

You’ve got to keep your guard up

If someone else is hard up

He’ll try to steal your dreams away

Once I thought of compassion as

A feelin' everybody has

Do unto others

That’s the golden rule

But I found to my regret

People I had never met

Were out to get me--I was just a fool

It’s a war, war

War any more

It’s a war, war

War every day

You’ve got to keep your guard up

If someone else is hard up

He’ll try to steal your dreams away
