War Of The Sexes Lyrics - Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living - Streets

I dream that one day I'll have a child 

And that child will say to me "Dad, what was war?" 

But it's not going to happen 

It's a war of the sexes, never get it bled 

I beg that you learn 'cause she's cleverer 

How attracted to you she is this party your gab? 

But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

Oi, the reason girls flirt is to work out their worth 

Whereas men just hanker for the panky to happen 

Retain this fact I'm hammering, this fact is gonna matter 

What little you think you're letting by her sly 

She senses you're near her and smells your desire 

The general rule of mine, her intellect will be higher 

Your task is to make her notice you fast 

But hanker when you don't close in after 

She knows she can get most dudes 

Though she mustn't know about you 

If you screw this all up and then lose all your cool 

That's when she ends up liking you as a friend 

You're not playing at hard to get 

You're playing at not getting a hard-on yet 

It's a war of the sexes, never get it bled 

I beg that you learn 'cause she's cleverer 

How attracted to you she is this party your gab? 

But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

And you wanna know what, listen 

The answer is to get close enough to her 

But listen the next thing you just totally blank her 

You think I'm fucking mad don't you? 

But I don't shag on my own 

Get somewhere near to the lamb 

Glance and then turn to the man 

You do need to be near to the lamb 

But she doesn't want to feel cramped 

Instead of cowering up to the hostile lamb 

Bowl up to the trusting man 

It's much easier talking to him 

He doesn't suspect you want anything 

Just tell him something like 

Did you know cigarette lighters were invented before matches? 

It's ABC making a he break with glee 

'Cos he isn't suspicious you're trying to muscle into his misses 

Do you know what I'm talking about? That's why I'm talking about 

It's a war of the sexes, never get it bled 

I beg that you learn 'cause she's cleverer 

How attracted to you she is this party your gab? 

But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

The woman is a highly socially-practiced 

Master in body language, dab-handed actress 

She's calculating all of the mad facts and the figures 

While you're pretending to listen staring at her tits 

It's a war of the sexes, never get it bled 

I beg that you learn 'cause she's cleverer 

How attracted to you she is this party your gab? 

But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

It's a war of the sexes, never get it bled 

I beg that you learn 'cause she's cleverer 

How attracted to you she is this party your gab? 

But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

Elementary, my dear cousin, I cannot state this enough 

She must not clock your flop, you can't placard your march 

Your threws seclude your moves or you're colluding well weapon 

It's a war of the sexes never get it bled 

I beg that you learn 'cause she's cleverer 

How attracted to you she is this party your gab? 

But it's multiplied by how little of you she can have 

And remember not to get hammered either 

'Cause people who get hammered don't get to nail
