how am i supposed to breathe

when i can't even go outside

there's nowhere i can go anymore

'cause the cab it won't give me a ride

i look outside my window

and see a brick wall blocking the light

i don't wanna be scared anymore

cause i'm in here losing my mind

oh oh it's like i'm living in a war zone

oh oh like i'm living in a war zone

i can hear shots in the night

as they echo through the corridors

and i know they're cooking downstairs

cause it's coming up through the floors

i just wanna feel like i did

growing up around the ones i adored

and now i'm just a prisoner here

and i don't feel safe anymore

oh it's like i'm living in a warzone

oh oh it's like i'm living in a warzone

oh oh it's like i'm living in a warzone

oh oh

it's like i'm living in a war zone

go

home

politician come to my door

cos he says i got a boat i should give

i tell him if he wants it from me

maybe he should try to live where i live

oh oh it's like i'm living in a war zone

oh oh it's like i'm living in a warzone

oh oh

it's like i'm living in a warzone

oh oh it's like i'm living in a warzone

oh oh it's like i'm living in a war zone

oh oh it's like i'm living

in a warzone oh oh

it's like i'm living in a warzone

oh oh

it's like i'm living in a warzone
