lyrics

Where I live, troubles been brewin'
Is it strange that I don't want to fight.
The slight bit of doubt is seen as undevout
Pick a side and then sleep through the night
And the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air
to some seem like a beautiful sight
I know there's a war but am I on board with the wrong or the right?

Put your boots on, good soldier, get walking
A command that has come from on high
Don't question your orders, it causes disorder
a blurring of black and of white
and we don't want that do we?
it would just be too confusing.
and frankly just isn't our style
I know there's a war but am I on board with the wrong or the right?

So ground all the angels
and silence all of the saints.
And stretch out the strong arms of freedom
and strangle the whole human race

Am I crazy for standing between you
To think we could put all this nonsense aside
Why we can't help the helpless
Or defend the defenseless
Or answer when people ask why
I might sound a bit foolish
There's that one golden rule it
Wouldn't hurt to just give it a try
I know there's a war, am I on board with the wrong or the right
I know there's a war, am I on board with the wrong or the right.
