Empathetic… disgusted with war

lyrics

I Love My Country Just Like Anyone Else Loves Their's
And I Think Those Who’s Intentions Have Been To Protect
But If I Was Asked Or Ordered To Go To War, I Would Defect

Call Me A Deserter Call Me Unpatriotic And All Sorts Of Names
But At Least I Could Hear You Just The Same
While I Still Have My Ears And Eyes And Arms And Legs
I Won't Be Put In A Position To Take A Life Or Be Dead

No I Don't Wanna Have To Kill
And I Don't Want To Take A Fall
I Kissed The Flag By And Go Awol

There Has To Be A Better Solution
Can There Be No Peaceful Resolutions
If You Take What's Not Yours Without Asking
Someone's Gonna Slap Your Hand
And You're Gonna Slap Back Even Harder
Then It Escalates To Using A Gun
Find More Efficient Ways To Kill
Mothers, Fathers, Daughters And Sons

Repeat Chorus

There Has To Be A Better Way
Should I Could Take Away All The Pain
Of The Brave Who Tried To Do The Right Thing
Sweet Land Of Liberty Of The I Sing

No I Don't Think You Wanna Kill
And I Don't Believe You Wanna Take A Fall
I Wonder What You Do If You Were In The Same Position

When Are We Going To Get It Right
Will Our Species Ever Figure Out How Not To Fight
So The Whole World Could Sleep Peacefully Throughout The Night
