Story Behind The Song
Although all human beings are different in so many ways, we have one thing in common. Our lives are a war...sometimes against oneself, sometimes against one another, sometimes for one thing, sometimes for another thing...but everybody is constantly fighting a war...their own personal war.

Lyrics
Call it World War Three
Call it World War Four
Call it anything
But don't call it out for more
It's not turn the other cheek
It's even up the score
As far as I can see
It's a personal war
It's a personal war
Close your mind
Close the door
Turn around and walk away
Don't want to see no more
Fighting in the streets
They're bashing in the door
As far as I can see
It's a personal war
It's a personal war
It's a personal war
It's a personal war
(me against you, you against me)
It's a personal war
(he against she, she against he)
It's a personal war
(everybody everywhere has to fight to get their share)
Shoot 'em through the heart
They're dead on the floor
The gang in the neighborhood
The ship on the shore
You can call a summit meeting
You can call a senator
But as far as I can see
It's a personal war
It's a personal war
Everybody's fighting their own personal war
It's a personal war
(me against you, you against me)
It's a personal war
(he against she, she against he)
It's a personal war
(everybody everywhere has to fight to get their share)
Fighting for the money
Fighting for our rights
Fighting for or freedom
Fighting for our lives
It's a personal war
It's a personal war
(me against you, you against me)
It's a personal war
(he against she, she against he)
Everybody's fighting their own personal war
(everybody everywhere has to fight to get their share)
I point my trigger finger
And I blame the other man
I take a better look at myself
And understand
It's a personal war
