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
