You can't tell me how to be, you can't tell me What I should see when I'm sleepin', I'm still believin' Stripped of all identity, I try to sleep, I grit my teeth I'm so afraid, what will tomorrow bring? I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand To see much more atrocity, atrocity I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand To see much more atrocity You can't tell me what to say, I will follow my own way 'Cause I'm a person, I'm a thinking person Please believe that love's not lost, hate and shame, a crooked cross I'm so ashamed, don't make martyrs out of us I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand To see much more atrocity, atrocity I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand To see much more atrocity And when the bombs come falling down The hate is still inside of you But if you want a better world Then I'll be right behind you I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand To see much more atrocity, atrocity I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand To see much more atrocity I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand To see much more atrocity I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand To see much more atrocity
