[00:02.00] The Faint - A Battle Hymn for Children
[00:12.00]
[00:22.00] @ @
[00:32.00]
[00:36.67] Teacher, bring me to heaven or leave me alone
[00:44.74] Why make me work so hard when you know I work slow
[00:50.65] Don't make us watch you scrape more powder on the walls
[00:58.11] Show us a laser, take to space, or let us go
[01:03.59] We got violent games on pause at home
[01:09.99]
[01:11.54] You've seen this angst take shape
[01:15.46] Don't hide those guilty eyes
[01:18.44] You gave us guns for toys
[01:21.56] We trained with cross-hair scopes
[01:26.85] Then in the name of peace we make war
[01:32.51]
[01:42.67] Sergeant, I don't remember how you said to deal with guilt
[01:52.15] I'm haunted by families, even ghosts of soldiers' kids
[01:58.75] Is it god against god and the pawns are people?
[02:04.70] If they're both the same god then the battle's over
[02:11.18] Details
[02:13.86]
[02:24.20] Preacher, am I going to make it? Am I going up?
[02:33.85] Am I forgiven for the humans I dropped?
[02:39.81] It's not like a game once the guilt piles up
[02:45.50] If I knew what I know now, it's easy to say I wouldn't go
[02:52.00] I had violent games on pause at home
[02:58.92]
[03:00.06] You know how hate takes shape
[03:03.62] Don't hide those guilty eyes
[03:06.45] You gave us guns for toys
[03:09.57] Imposed beliefs then pride
[03:12.76] We were taught that God prefers the U.S.A.
[03:19.01] Just like the billboard sign: "This is God's country"
[03:25.57] If it's true that God roots for the U.S.A.
[03:31.90] Is every bomb we drop in God's name?
[03:39.39]
