Act of War — текст песни (Elton John)

Duet with millie jackson

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Released as a uk single in june, 1985



This aint no battle honey, this aint no fight

How come you take it so hard when I stay out all night

If I take a drink, is that against the law

And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war



Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home

I didnt build it up for you to live here on my own

And if you think its easy to forget about me

Youd better think twice, youd better believe its an act of war





Were living on the front line you and me

Fighting on this battleground of misery

Oh go ahead bring on your artillery

And well make this an act of war

Give it all youve got `cause Im all dug in

Keep the punches coming I can take them on the chin

Winner takes all, let the best man win

And we call it an act of war





Well Im a man of convenience I work a long hard day

After twelve long hours aint I got the right to play

If living together is getting in the way

Then I call that an act of war





Well if thats your game then honey two can play

Im going on the town tonight and have some fun my way

Aint no way baby this girls gonna stay

I call it, I call it an act of war





And it looks like time aint been on our side

If we could turn the clock back

We might survive this act of war
