This ain't no battle honey, this ain't 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 didn't build it up for you to live here on my own
  And if you think it's easy to forget about me
  You'd better think twice, you'd better believe it's an act of war
    We're living on the front line you and me
  Fighting on this battleground of misery
  Oh go ahead bring on your artillery
  And we'll make this an act of war
  Give it all you've got `cause I'm 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 I'm a man of convenience I work a long hard day
  After twelve long hours ain't I got the right to play
  If living together is getting in the way
  Then I call that an act of war
    Well if that's your game then honey two can play
  I'm going on the town tonight and have some fun my way
  Ain't no way baby this girl's gonna stay
  I call it, I call it an act of war
    And it looks like time ain't been on our side
  If we could turn the clock back
  We might survive this act of war
