lirik lagu bitter ruin – stand to attention
sick from the smell of the fire i disintegrated
into an urn full of life
full of p-ssion of the wrong kind
and my only option was fight
go, you will march i was told, i was laden with a gun
and i knew of a plan
and i knew my point of contact
and empty handed i can’t come back
and though i knew my mind was consumed
i had no where i could run to
so i’d hide behind enemy lines
and though i was free to leave whenever
i knew that if i endeavored
through the fences i’d be caught defenseless
they are only human
like you and i
so who are they to tell us who to be?
and why do we follow them
and cry when we stand to attention?
i should have screamed
should have clawed
had i not been in the midst of a fight, of a war
had i not been in the searchlight
had the smog not blurred my eyesight
and i had a bullet had a gun
but victimized my courage gone
and had i made it out the other side i wouldn’t have a place to hide
they are only human
like you and i
so who are they to tell us who to be?
and why do we follow them
and cry when we stand to attention?
and i shot and i hit and things i can’t live with
are pushing me harder to grow
but had i not been through this
i wouldn’t be witness
to a strength many can’t claim to know
they are only human
like you and i
so who are they to tell us who to be?
and why do we follow them
and cry when we stand to attention?
