Total War Lyrics

We walk the streets together,
with smiles on our faces
We talk nice to each other,
and we listen when we have to
Maybe it's just over-rated,
maybe I'm just isolated
We walk the streets together,
we walk the streets together but
You don't like my friends
You don't like my clothes
You think that I'm crazy
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over

Nothing ever comes between us,
a no-man's land, a danger zone
Look at us prop up the pieces,
we live together on our own
Maybe it's just over-rated,
maybe I'm just isolated
We walk the streets together,
we walk the streets together but
You don't like my friends
You don't like my clothes
You think that I'm crazy
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
This is total war, girl
This is total war, girl
This is total war, girl
This is total war, girl
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
This is total war, girl... Total war...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

When I was about 16, my friends and I were obsessed with this song. It's the first Comsat Angels song I've ever heard, and it's still one of my favourites.
