Cold War Lyrics & Chords By Janelle Monáe

So, you think I'm alone
But being alone's the only way to be
When you step outside
You spend life fighting for your sanity

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

If you wanna be free (If you want to be free)
Below the ground's the only place to be
'Cause in this life ('Cause in this life)
You spend time running from depravity

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

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

Bring wings to the weak and bring grace to the strong
May all evil stumble as it flies in the world
All the tribes come and the mighty will crumble
We must brave this night and have faith in love

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

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

This is a cold
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
Kelindo!

Do you know?
It's a cold, cold
Do you?
Do you?
Do you?

It's a cold, cold
You better know what you're fighting for

Bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't you cry when I say goodbye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't you cry when I say goodbye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't you cry when I say goodbye
