I'm not the enemy
I'm just a casualty
Of this endless war of words
Cold anger and abuse
I always call the truce
No matter how bad it hurts

I'll wave the flag of surrender
If you'll just lay your weapons down

Just once, would you cross the battle line
Reach out and baby you will find
True love is stronger pride
Just once, would you cross the battle line

Respect is chipped away
By the heartless things we say
We're losin' more with every fight
When will this madness cease
When will we cherish peace
More than being wrong or right?

We can't go on like this forever
There's got to be a compromise
