Well, you have been kind and I know it seems hopeless
   You smooth the ground, tear the knots all apart
   You're helping me move from the inside to the outside
   You're trying so hard and I can't even start
  
   It's a war in there
   It's a war in there
  
   And you peacemakers go to the same place as soldiers
   If you wanna make peace, well, you gotta find the pain
   You bring your words, but you're just like them, you're unprepared
   'Cause you don't know the terrain
  
   It's a war in there
   It's a war in there
  
   And don't you know I'll never give you a medal
   Laid back on state-side, in the central time zone
   The one that they pinned to the outside, to the outside
   And it leads you all the way home
  
   It's a war in there
   It's a war in there
  
   You can hold me now
   You can hold me now.
