When he was just a little boy
He only had one favourite toy
And he had nothing on his mind
He never left anything behind, no
As he got older, things got worse
Like he had been born under a curse
Things started to fall apart
They went like they were at the start
No, ohh
It's like a civil war, growing up
It's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up
It's like a civil war
And now that he was in his teens
He started to learn live of his means
Probably to stay in here and
They didn't look like disappearin'
No, ohh
It's like a civil war, growing up
It's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up
Growing up, it's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up, it's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up, it's like a civil war.
