Sick from the smell of the fire I disintegratedInto an urn full of life Full of passion of the wrong kindAnd my only option was fight?Go, you will march? I was told, I was laden with a gunAnd I knew of a planAnd I knew my point of contactAnd empty handed I can't come backAnd though I knew my mind was consumedI had no where I could run toSo I'd hide behind enemy linesAnd though I was free to leave wheneverI knew that if I endeavored Through the fences I'd be caught defenseless They are only humanLike you and ISo who are they to tell us who to be?And why do we follow themAnd cry when we stand to attention? I should have screamedShould have clawedHad I not been in the midst of a fight, of a warHad I not been in the searchlightHad the smog not blurred my eyesightSongtexteAnd I had a bullet had a gunBut victimized my courage goneAnd had I made it out the other side I wouldn't have a place to hide They are only humanLike you and ISo who are they to tell us who to be?And why do we follow themAnd cry when we stand to attention? And I shot and I hit and things I can't live withAre pushing me harder to growBut had I not been through thisI wouldn't be witnessTo a strength many can't claim to know They are only humanLike you and ISo who are they to tell us who to be?And why do we follow themAnd cry when we stand to attention?
