|
how long, how long |
|
are you asking me to stay |
|
I cannot stand |
|
to watch you kneel today |
|
I saw your hope |
|
and turned my face away |
|
from you |
|
under her skirt |
|
I see the nation's pain |
|
all caked with dirt |
|
she crossed her legs in shame |
|
how can you hurt |
|
a man who knows your name? |
|
it's true |
|
I cannot I cannot |
|
kill an innocent - |
|
Eleanor Eleanor |
|
put the gun in my - |
|
I cannot I cannot |
|
kill an innocent man |
|
how wrong, how wrong |
|
it is to let us guess |
|
which god is real |
|
what faith would suit us best? |
|
oh, god of peace |
|
we've been trying to impress |
|
are you alive? |
|
are you alive? |
|
and if so, why? |
|
if you say, |
|
I believe it now, what we got we gave away |
|
holy god, |
|
that we have failed |
|
we killed your carpenter with nails |
|
in the end, |
|
when the fire comes, burning up the souls we spend |
|
is it worth |
|
what we have paid? |
