My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them
You don't want to see me live

You don't want me to give
'Cause you're one of them
My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend

But you're one of them
I might not know what a friend is
All I know is what you're not
'Cause you're one of them

My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them
I have a prediction, it lives in my brain

It's with me every day, it drives me insane
I feel it in my heart, that if I has a gun
I feel it in my heart,
I'd want to kill some

I feel it in my heart, the end will come
Come on! My war you're one of them
You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them

Tell me that I'm wrong
Try to sing me your ego song
You're one of them
My war you're one of them

You say that you're my friend
But you're one of them
My War

    Song Meaning:My war in german sounds "Mein Kampf" (as a book, written by A. Hitler), so I always thought that this song is about racism.

    General Comment:It's probably about drugs, though I couldn't say for sure. I thought it was about paranoia really, or at least trust like a few people already discussed, paraonia leaves you feeling alone in the world because you push people away.
    Maybe it's about the effects of drugs or something.

    Song Meaning:I think OceanOfChaos is right, the song is against all the mainstream kids that walk around.
    f.e. the emo kids, posers in general...

    what i kinda assoziated with the song when i heard it the first time was that he is talking to a cop.
    Basically sayng that the cop works for the system and therefore he will kick his fucking ass.
    maybe

    song is still pretty brutal old school HC!
    got to love that shit.

    General Comment:I definitly see how this song could be about drugs...but I'm pretty sure it's just straight foward, and is about feeling like you can't trust anyone. Chuck Dukowski wrote this one, not Greg Ginn.

    General Comment:is there a drug reference in here (e.g., the "war on drugs")? I forget when it was that Ginn starting hitting the bong again, but "the process of weeding out" is definitely a pot reference (among other things)

    General Comment:Yeah, I agree. During the song you come to realize that the guy is getting crazier and crazier, even turning against his own friends.
    Great song. Old school hardcore is what I live for. Black Flag rules.
