Teacher | |
Bring me to heaven | |
Or leave me alone | |
Why make me work so hard | |
When you know I work slow | |
Don't make us watch you scrape | |
More powder on the walls | |
Show us a laser | |
Take us to space | |
Or let us go | |
We got violent games on pause at home | |
You've seen this angst take shape | |
Don't hide those guilty eyes | |
You gave us guns for toys | |
We trained with cross hair scopes | |
Then in the name of peace we make war | |
Sergeant | |
I don't remember how you said to deal with guilt | |
I'm haunted by families grieving | |
Even soldiers kids | |
Is it god against god | |
And the pawns are people? | |
If they're both the same god | |
Then the battle's over | |
Details | |
Preacher | |
Am I gonna make it? | |
Am I going up? | |
Am I forgiven for the humans I dropped | |
It's not like a game once the guilt piles up | |
If I knew what I know now | |
It's easy to say I wouldn't go | |
I had violent games on pause at home | |
You know how hate takes shape | |
Don't hide those guilty eyes | |
You gave us guns for toys | |
Imposed beliefs then pride | |
We were taught that god prefers the USA | |
Just like the billboard sign -"this is god's country" | |
If it's true that god roots for the USA | |
Is every bomb we drop in god's name? |
