[Verse 1]
I'm a simple man
Doin' the best that I can
Living in a land
Where it's hard for me to understand
What happened to the lion?
What happened to the lamb?
To whom we pay homage too
The king Uncle Sam
[Chorus]
I'm a pacifist
Born and raised to fight
Battlin' on toward peace at last
Knowin' that it's right
[Verse 2]
Carried away, carried away
This current is sweepin' away
Our right to stay
Our voice to say
This country's ours
We who pay
We've got found Mount Zion
We've got to free the land
We've got to find the one inside
Who says I am that I am
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Knowing that it's the same structures
Fluctuating, abruptly ruptured
Busted, breaking
Luster fading, making custard
Of us flustered frail things
Soft and molded
Hold on to the railing
As we descend to this failing
A melee in which we abed
And are aiding an ailing trend
And it's daily taught that the cost of these men
Is what the market's willing to spend
For a stock in pacifism
And they teach us, be peaceful with pieces of Jesus on neck
But k** that whicheth please us
But contradictions won't ease us
So we just…
[Chorus]
