Act Of War
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John; Millie Jackson



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
