They are just civilians |
|
We are barely civil to them |
|
Only at times |
|
Gonna take a million |
|
Bodies piled and killed to |
|
Show them we can fight |
|
They are just civilians |
|
We are barely civil to them |
|
Only at times |
|
And we are your citizens |
|
Burrowing beneath your skin |
|
And crawling up your spine |
|
They are just civilians |
|
Fighting for their place in |
|
The company of men |
|
Shhh! we're holding still |
|
Waiting for the thrill |
|
Of surprising you again |
|
You watch yourself |
|
And you guard yourself |
|
You are not yourself |
|
You are not yet safe |
|
Watch yourself |
|
And you guard yourself |
|
You are not yourself |
|
You are not yet safe |
|
Boys I can fight |
|
Please let me fight |
|
Boys I can fight |
|
Please let me fight |
|
The treaties of civilians |
|
We will fire at will and |
|
From behind the lines |
|
You who once were children |
|
You stand and stare where buildings |
|
Became crimes |
