Dirty Little War Lyrics by Joseph Williams

I Am Alive

1996

You're standing in the shadows
But that doesn't mean that nobody can see you
You act like you've got everything
But I wouldn't wanna be you
Somewhere on the way to your dream
You lost your invitation
Couldn't see the forest through the trees
Couldn't reach your destination
In the light of day
There is hell to pay
Who's gonna fight in your dirty little war?
Who's gonna go to the trouble?
I ain't gonna be your Charlie anymore
I'm fighting my way out of the rubble
And your dirty little war
Isn't it amazing that we never knew
The damage you were doing?
You say the road was paved with gold
It's a road that leads to ruin
In the light of day
There is hell to pay
Who's gonna fight in your dirty little war?
Who's gonna go to the trouble?
I ain't gonna be your Charlie anymore
I'm fighting my way out of the rubble
And your dirty little...
What now? Can you tell me how
We can get back on the right track?
It's a fine line
But we still have time
Who's gonna fight in your dirty little war?
Who's gonna go to the trouble?
(Well, who's gonna fight?)
I ain't gonna be your Charlie anymore
(Charlie anymore)
I'm fighting my way out of the rubble
(Hey, hey, hey)
Who's gonna fight in your dirty little war?
(Who's gonna fight?)
Who's gonna go to the trouble?
(Who's gonna fight?)
I ain't gonna be your Charlie anymore
(No)
I'm fighting my way out of the rubble
(Oh)
Who's gonna fight in your dirty little war?
(Oh, yeah)
Who's gonna go to the trouble?
(Well, who's gonna fight?)
I ain't gonna be your Charlie anymore
(Charlie anymore)
I'm fighting my way out of the rubble
(Out of the rubble)
Who's gonna fight in your dirty little war?
(Oh)
Who's gonna go to the trouble?
(Well, who's gonna fight?)
I ain't gonna be your Charlie anymore
(No, no, no)
I'm fighting my way out of the rubble
