Cover art for Life During War Time (Pinhead Gunpowder cover) lyrics by Green Day

this is not a Talking Heads cover!! this song has nothing to do with Talking Heads! if the title is the same that doesn't mean this is a TH cover! this song is originally by Pinhead Gunpowder and Green Day covered it (on acoustic guitar). I like both versions of this song.

ok. now what is this song abot? i think it's a little bit confusing.... well, it could be both about war and about rivalry in certain bands... but, for some reason i think it's about rivalry in bands:

It used to be us and them And you an me.. And now we can't reach our potential without a common enemy A real war to fight against .................................... Without a crowd, I'm not so loud I can't do anything by myself.
