I Always Knew They'd Strike First 03:01
lyrics
buy track
I dont wanna be afraid I don't wanna die this way I always thought I had a choice I always thought I had a voice to say That I don't wanna have a fight Stand with what is just and right today I don't wanna die because you stand just 5 feet high, no way All my life I feared the worst I always knew that they'd strike first I just want to live my life My family, friends, my pets my wife, my scene I know I've been an average man I've done my best to be a human being I've been aggressive, I've been bad I've punched a few and had my clock cleaned But I don't wanna die because You have a tiny tool and you are mean All my life I feared the worst I always knew that they'd strike first Sudden death is possible If missiles hit my vicinity But worrying about the end Will surely be much worse for me So I won't suffer anymore I'll stay put and certainly won't flee Because I'm happy, did my best And your war has nothing to do with me All my life I feared the worst I always knew that they'd strike first

I took a walk down Ukraine Took a left at insane I'm fucking out of my mind With the information in my brain I can't believe this bullshit is happening in the 21st century Haven't these assholes learned That they will get burned after they fight for nothing and think they can rule the world rule the world What the actual fuck is going on in the mind of a mad man? preists and polictians for all of recorded history have lied to the people oppressed and held them down for their own greed and gluttony greed and gluttony There wont be peace on earth Till all of us our dead There won't be peace on earth until we use our head These despots say they deserve our thanks there wont be peace on earth until we liquidate the tanks There wont be peace on earth until we release the troops to their families and friends That's when all of this will finally end What the actual fuck is going on in the mind of a mad man? preists and polictians for all of history have lied to the people oppressed and held them down for their own greed and gluttony greed and gluttony I can't believe this bullshit is happening in the 21st century these assholes haven't learned That they will get burned after they fight for nothing and think they can rule the world rule the world I took a walk down Ukraine Took a left at fucking insane There wont be peace on earth Till all of us our dead There won't be peace on earth until we use our head there wont be peace on earth until we liquidate the tanks There wont be peace on earth until we release all the troops to their families and friends That's when all of this will end There wont be peace on earth Till all of us our dead

Dog tags hanging from a hook From a war that never happened The year I became a veteran The battles started up again For a kid that grew up Watching Vietnam on TV With a fear of being drafted It’s ironic For a kid that grew up Watching Vietnam on TV With a fear of being shot down It’s ironic that For a kid that grew up Watching Vietnam on TV With a fear of bayonets It’s ironic that I signed up on my own trained and prepared for the war The war that never happened The war that never happened If fear is my abuser Then It must be true, I’m in love with my abuser Even if I choose her I didn’t have to dodge the draft Or move to Canada My timing happened to be just right Where I never have to go and fight The war that never happened For a kid that grew up Watching Vietnam on TV With a fear of being drafted It’s ironic For a kid that grew up Watching Vietnam on TV With a fear of being shot down It’s ironic that For a kid that grew up Watching Vietnam on TV With a fear of bayonets It’s ironic that I signed up on my own Trained and prepared for war The war that never happened Trained and prepared for war The war that never happened Trained and prepared for war The war that never happened Trained and prepared for war It’s not the first or second war or the Korean or Vietnam war It is my old war, the cold war the war inside of me The war that never happened
