lyrics

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
as he got older things got worse, like he'd been born under a curse
things started to fall apart, well would life be well at the start
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 jeans, he started to live what life means
problems still appearing, they didn't look like disappearing
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
