"Tug of War"
Song

"Tug of War" is the title track from Paul McCartney’s 1982 album Tug of War. Rolling Stone described the song as McCartney's equivalent to John Lennon's "Imagine"[1]. The song has a clear division between the verses featuring sad lyrics about the struggle to survive, the necessity of conflict (pushing and pulling) and the hopeful refrain, in which McCartney looks for a future where these struggles are no longer necessary.
