The Fighting When the long war’s finally over, that’s when the real fighting begins. Once everything gets settled, that’s when the jealousy creeps in. Call it human nature; been that way since the dawn of time. You got your pretty little way of thinkin’ and you know I got mine. Well once we get to fighting, you know somebody’s gonna call the cops. Almost like we need excitement, and once it gets going, it never stops. One thing to know about the fightin’: there’s no guarantee you’ll win. It’s always harder getting out than it was getting in. The next thing to know ‘bout the fighting The last thing you gotta know about the fighting Is always watch your back The moment you think you’re winning, That’s the moment they attack. But that’s all human nature It’ll be that way ‘til the end of time You got your pretty way of thinkin’ and baby, you know I got mine. The next time we fight I’d gladly let you win Every once in a while we get excited When we think we’re gonna win There’s no denying what we’re made of The anger and the sin Cause it’s all just I hope you have a good life I hope the world treats you well But don’t be tricked into thinking That heaven’s just another room in hell I guess you noticed I ain’t perfect I got my anger and my sin But once we get it settled You that’s when the real fun begins Well once we get to fighting You know somebody’s gonna call the cops You got your own way of thinkin’ And me I know I blow my top Well I guess we’ve come a long way But that was all before my time We’ll I guess you could say we’ve come a long way You’ve got your rules and I’ve got mine One thing you learn about the fighting is there’s no guarantee that you’ll win And it’s harder getting out alive Than it is getting in
