War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No point in fighting, its not going to change
I'm trying to find my place in this world but I don't get it
I go through the motions over and over
Sick of life, sick of talk, sick of you
I go through the motions every fucking day
Should I just step back and let others path my way?
I walk in step with all the others, predictable is how I feel
Times are changing and I think where to turn next
I missed the point somewhere along the line
Now back is my best bet
You can't make it work with your foot in your mouth
And you can't make this work cause its so hard to stick out
I'm sick of hearing what you think of every single thing that comes out of my mouth
You know where you can take your words?
Away from me. I want to be a part
I know its nothing new
I want this fucking charade over
Life's a bitch, suck it up
Trying to get it right, fuck it up!
The lyrics to War's song A Day in the Life are reminiscent of the feelings many people have about life. The song seems to center around the idea of feeling stuck in routine and being unable to find one's place in the world. The singer is frustrated with the monotony of life and seems to be questioning what the point of it all is. The lyrics, "Everyday it's always the same, No point in fighting, it's not going to change, I'm trying to find my place in this world but I don't get it, I go through the motions over and over," express this sentiment clearly.
The singer then goes on to describe the frustration of dealing with others who have a different perspective on life. The lyrics "Sick of life, sick of talk, sick of you, I go through the motions every fucking day, Should I just step back and let others path my way?" suggest a struggle to reconcile with the opinions and actions of others. The singer seems torn between wanting to fit in and wanting to stand out. They feel trapped by their own indecision and maybe even envy those who seem to have it all figured out.
The song concludes with the message that even though life may be frustrating and difficult, it still needs to be faced head-on. The lyrics "Life's a bitch, suck it up, Trying to get it right, fuck it up!" suggest that although it may be tempting to give up, the only way to truly find one's place in the world is to keep pushing forward, no matter how difficult it may seem.

This rendition of the song clearly stands on its own merit w/o mentioning the Beatles at all! War here breaks the common stigma for ANY musical group... never play a Beatles song, for it will never sound like the Beatles and the audience will say it sucks and turn you off. The jazz movement is still a great grove.
Sebastián Lugo
And Paul McCartney wrote the second verse. And I've been obssessed with this Burdon guy, pure soul!
