lyrics

Welcome to the city
Said a young man sitting next to me
Heard you're new in town
Before you get around
Here's a little tip from me

Best stick to yourself
No matter where you go
Just watch your back and hold your own
And if after that, trouble's knockin' at your door
Remember my friend, it's a town we're fighting for

Welcome to your paradise
Where the little man pays a bigger price
Take another hit
Just get it over with
We're a little sick, you see

Can't stay down no more
We gotta make it known
So get back up, you're not alone
And then hit 'em back, leave 'em grippin' to the floor
You never had a choice, they're knockin' at your door
Remember my friend
It's time and this is war (2x)
War

Welcome to the untold
Take a deep breath, take the higher road
It's what they always say
As if they know the way
They won't take it from me

But don't ever doubt yourself
'Cause life ain't just a dream
You make your own, so kick and scream
The people will act with a neverending force
You never had the chance, so what're you waiting for?
The day has come my friend
'Cause this is war
It's time and this is war
War

Light another wick
Better make it quick
We ain't got a lot of time

'Cause the powers that be
Don't want us free
So they gotta dull our shine

But when the dust settles in
They're gonna pay for their sins
I've made up my mind
Gotta stand side by side
As we drag all the lies
To the tables for sacrifice

It's time and this is war (2x)
War
