Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Male Vocals - Theatrical and expressive]
I walk in the door and the tension is thick
Your silent treatment makes me feel a bit sick!
The toilet seat’s up and you’re starting a scene
Like I’m the biggest villain that you’ve ever seen!

[Verse 2 - Female Vocals - Sharp and sassy]
Oh, don't start with me, you’re a master of mess
You leave your dirty socks in the hall, I confess!
You spend all your time with your face in your phone
While I’m running this kingdom all on my own!

[Pre-Chorus - Duet - Building intensity]
[Male:] You’re screaming louder!
[Female:] You’re acting colder!
[Both:] We’re carrying a chip on every shoulder!

[Chorus - Duet - Big, grand musical hook]
Oh-oh-oh! We’re living in a war zone, baby!
Oh-oh-oh! You’re driving me completely crazy!
It’s a heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, domestic fight
But we’re burning like a fuse in the middle of the night!
Yeah, we fight, and we roar, then we come back for more
In our own little private World War!

[Verse 3 - Male Vocals - Almost singing-talking]
You snore like a freight train, I can’t get no sleep
And the secrets you’re hiding are secrets you keep!

[Female Vocals - High energy]
Well, you drive like a maniac, I’m holding my breath
Every trip to the grocery store feels like death!

[Bridge - Fast-paced, rhythmic orchestral build-up]
[Male:] You’re nagging!
[Female:] You’re bragging!
[Male:] My patience is flagging!
[Female:] Your ego is sagging!
[Male:] I’m done!
[Female:] I’m through!
[Both:] I can’t spend another minute with you!

[Musical Break - Grand orchestral swell with trumpets and strings]

[Chorus - Duet - Maximum theatrical power]
Oh-oh-oh! We’re living in a war zone, baby!
Oh-oh-oh! You’re driving me completely crazy!
It’s a heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, domestic fight
But we’re burning like a fuse in the middle of the night!
Yeah, we fight, and we roar, then we come back for more
In our own little private World War!

[Outro - Orchestral music stops suddenly, a single piano note lingers]

[Male Vocals - Whispered, dry tone]
You’re still the only person I can stand.

[Female Vocals - Softly, with a smile in the voice]
I know. I love you too.

[Final Chord]
