I went to a war That I knew I couldn't win I know 'cause I've gone before And it always Comes to the same end I march out alone It's not bravery, it's panic A contest for control Where I have none Perpetually vanquished Pick your battles Little soldier Cause when it's futile Your heart gets colder It gets colder I don't wanna fight no more I can't take another losing score I've taken up arms in the wrong war And I don't want this fight anymore I'm deployed with the truth And I come back a cynic Tell me whose position improves While I keep confirming There's no way to win this? Pick your battles Little soldier Some are not meant For only your shoulders That's just torture I don't wanna fight no more I can't take another losing score I've taken up arms in the wrong war And I don't want this fight I don't wanna fight no more I can't take another losing score I've taken up arms in the wrong war And I don't want this fight anymore Pick your battles Little soldier Cause when it's futile Your heart gets colder Pick your battles Little soldier Some are not meant For only your shoulders That's just torture I went to a war That I knew I couldn't win I know 'cause I've gone before And it always comes to the same end
