What About Me
I seen another soldier who got wasted in the war He said he left his soul there overseas The notion he defended doesn't matter anymore And circumstance had brought him to his knees We sat there in the stilness of a cold and empty room Down the hall I heard a baby cry He looked up from the potion he was cooking in a spoon And nailed me with the anger in his eye He said do you really believe in freedom I said I do he said oh what about me [ guitar ] They killed both of her parents in an undercover war For wantin' all their children to be free She said it's even sadder that it's in El Salvador They named it for the Saviour don't you see Suddenly the truth was like a blinding flash of light holy thunder rolled across the sky I stared into the wonder of the Warrior Jesus Christ And destiny was burning in his eyes He said do you really believe in freedom I said I do he said oh what about me And the man said do you really believe in freedom I said I do he said oh what about me And the Sandinista said do you really believe in freedom I said I do he said oh what about me Aus Songtexte Mania
