It ain’t the same old cold war Harry It ain’t the one you know The sound of all that saber rattling Makes the blood run cold It ain’t the same old cold war Harry It ain’t the one you know It isn’t black or white Mayberry The whole place could blow I got a little girl a cutting teeth A pretty wife who’s in the bed Rather be makin’ love or makin’ peace Don’t wanna live a life of dread It ain’t the same old cold war Harry Don’t need a doomsday clock To be alarmed by all the stars you’re wearing The funny way you talk It ain’t the same old cold war Harry No puttin’ up your dukes That kinda talk is gettin’ all too scary You better nix your nukes It ain’t the same old cold war Harry It ain’t the one you know But could ya not stand by that button The whole place could blow I got a little girl a cutting teeth A pretty wife who’s in the bed Rather be makin’ love or makin’ peace Don’t wanna live a life of dread It ain’t the same old cold war Harry It ain’t the same old war It ain’t the same old cold war Harry
