lyrics

My father told me to fight wars
So I went and got a gun
They told me killing could be easy
Yeah adventure would be fun

Yeah no I don’t wanna die in some foreign field
Another king in his castle, imperialist
I scream like hell, how’d it come to this?
Yeah no I don’t wanna die in some foreign field

I shot some other mother’s darling boy
Yeah I just watched him as he bled
There’s something not quite right inside my head
I heard the generals die in bed

Yeah no I don’t wanna die in some foreign field
Another king in his castle, imperialist
I scream like hell, how’d it come to this?
Yeah no I don’t wanna die in some foreign field

I ship off to fight your evil
Hold that line, my hands they tremble
I just wanna live
Don’t wanna die
Don’t wanna fight

Collectivized in death upon the ground
Yeah there’s no glory to be found
