Shining - darkened - warming coldness
I am, you are, in this mortal coil
There is something inside you who always try to fight against me
And something inside me who always want to deny you
An animal of pseudo-consciousness I have become
A light of truth is hiding inside my illicit darkness
So many years of seemingly unending contradictions
So many times I'd given up in battling this depression
An animal with lack of self-esteem I have become
The more I see, the more I hate
The more I learn, the more I fake
The less I try, the less I get
The less I'm in, I'm never out
Don't do that (I knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it, knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it, knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it, knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it, knew it)
You don't know and I don't know
The circle seems the same
Falling down or standing up
I care what is against
Don't do that (I knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it, knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it, knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it, knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it)
Don't do that (I knew it, knew it)
What the fuck (You blew it)
What the fuck (You blew it, blew it)
What the fuck (You blew it)
What the fuck (You blew it, blew it)
What the fuck (You blew it)
What the fuck (You blew it, blew it)
What the fuck (You blew it)
What the fuck (You blew it, blew it)
No more songs against the war
Too many already and I don't want to sing them anymore
It's f-u-c-k, 1 2 3 4
Hey Joe, where can I go with two cents in my hand for billionaires and oil lords?
These songs for peace
How I wish they'd turn into antiques
To never sing against war again
Songs for peace
How I wish they'd turn into antiques
To never sing against war again
How can any of us sleep
When slaughter's what it takes to show such strength in human unity?
To bring us all into the streets?
I know I told you that I wouldn't march no more but strange how yesterday repeats
These songs for peace
How I wish they'd turn into antiques
To never sing against war again
Songs for peace
How I wish they'd turn into antiques
To never sing against war again
While the East was bein' won
Good little patriots were scared to wonder how their country might be run
It's because of all their bombs and guns
We got a million songs against the war and I hate every one of them
These songs for peace
How I wish they'd turn into antiques
To never sing against war again
Songs for peace
How I wish they'd turn into antiques
To never sing against war again
Liberation by the missiles of democracy
Liberation by the missiles of democracy
Liberation by the missiles of democracy
Liberation by the missiles of democracy
These songs for peace
How I wish they'd turn into antiques
