[Verse 1]
This isn't no battle honey, this isn'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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Give it all you've got because 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 haven't I got the right to play
If living together is getting in the way
Then I call that an act of war

[Verse 2]
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 going to stay
I call it, I call it an act of war

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
It's an act of war
An act of war[x2]
It's an act of war
Call it an act of war
Act of war
Call it an act of war[x2]
It's an act of war
Get your girlfriend
Get your husband
I call it an act of war
An act of war, yeah
