I donated myself to the mexican army
We were ten thousand guns shooting into the night
Turning screams into sand and sand into blood
And murdering darkness with fire and light
I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution
Out in the field there's no such thing as mercy
We bloom through the night into flowers of death
"I don't believe anything that I've said"
Jesus Christ was heard saying under his breath
I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution
I donated myself to the mexican army
I gave all my love to a Mexican whore
I gave her my dreams and I gave her my money
I buried my family under her floor
I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution
