Here I am
In the desert again
A compass and a weapon
A lost American
I started out with a simple plan
And a locket in my hand
But the sun's so unforgiving
And the wind so hard to stand
Fall out, fall out
With the rest of your brothers
With the rest of your sisters
Heroes on the line
Carry out what your leader says
For what his leader says
Is that his leader says
this is right for the people
No one will ever understand why thousands of
beautiful healthy young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live with
Doubt and confusion they find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
In the water, in the sand
Is the blood of a culture
Is the blood of an ancient people
In whose holy war I stand
I hear the world like a cannon roar
Say I can win this war
I promise them this
Is not what I signed up for
No one will ever understand why thousands of
beautiful healthy young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live with
Doubt and confusion they find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
No one will ever understand why thousands of
Beautiful healthy young soldiers must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
I cannot live with your
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I will not die this way
