[Verse 1]
Man, here I am at the gas station beggin' for change
And change is what I need, please give me more
I tried to work but they will never know what I've seen
What I've done I can't tell you so

[Verse 2]
Please believe me when I say my heart is good
I've tried to give it away
But I never could find someone that I could relate to
But they know not what we do, they know not what we do

[Chorus]
But all is fair in war (love and war, love and war)
So they tell me so
I can't share my war (love and war, love and war)
You will never know Colonel Sylvester Grey

[Verse 2]
Damn, my man, you have a blessing coming to
You and now I can afford some food
That's what you get for the price of a dollar
I fought for the dollar, yes I fought for the dollar
Now everybody looks away when I holla

[Chorus]
But all is fair in war (love and war, love and war)
So they tell me so
I can't share my war (love and war, love and war)
You will never know Colonel Sylvester Grey, yeah
[Bridge]
I was just a boy
And you wonder why I walk these streets
In war it was difficult
But in love, I have suffered catastrophic defeats
War
War is love
Love is war
War is love, enough

[Chorus]
But all is fair in war (love and war, love and war)
So they tell me so
I can't share my war (love and war, love and war)
You will never know Colonel Sylvester Grey, yeah
