Cold War - Janelle Monae (lyrics)

*These lyrics were transcribed and hold no guarantee of accuracy.

So you think that I'm alone
That being alone is the only way to be
When you step outside
You spin like fire for your sanity

This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting

If you want to be free
Feel the ground is the only place to be
'Cause in this life
You spend time running from depravity

This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting

When wings to the weak
and bring grace to the strong
make our legal stumble as it applies in the world
All the tripes come and the mighty will crumble
we must brave this night
and have faith in the world

I'm trying to find my peace
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
And it hurts my heart
Lord have mercy ain't it plain to see

That this is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting

Do you know?
Do you?
Do you?
