Cold War

About Cold War

"Cold War" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Janelle Monáe for her debut studio album The ArchAndroid (2010). The song was written and produced by Monáe, Nathaniel Irvin III, and Charles Joseph II. It was released on February 12, 2010 on Monáe's website, one day after the release of The ArchAndroid's first single, "Tightrope". "Cold War" was produced as a fast-paced new wave and Afro-funk track with a futuristic feel. Its drum pattern has received several comparison to that of OutKast's 2000 single "B. O. B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)". Music critics acclaimed the song as one of the best tracks from The ArchAndroid. The accompanying music video was directed and shot by Wendy Morgan at a sanitarium. It features Monáe emoting throughout the video and has been praised by critics as a unique piece of work. more »

 Struggling with Cold War? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

So you think that I'm alone
That being alone is the only way to be
When you step outside
You spin like fire 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 want to be free
Feel on the ground is the only place to be
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

When wings to the weak
And bring grace to the strong
Make our legal stumble as it applies in the world
All the tripes come and the mighty will crumble
We must brave this night
And have faith in the world

I'm trying to find my peace
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
And 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

Do you know?
Is a cold
Do you?
Do you?
Ah ah ah ahhhh
Ah ah ah ahhhh

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