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
But under her skirt I see the nation's pain
All kicked 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
I will not, I will not put the gun in my
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent
I will not, I will not put the gun in my
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man
You sit down, you sit down, you sit down, you sit down, you sit down
I watched her fall into the ground
How wrong, how wrong it is to let us guess which god is real?
Which faith would suit us best?
Oh god of pete's, quit trying to impress
Are you alive?
Why?
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent
I will not, I will not put the gun in my
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man
You sit down, you sit down, you sit down, you sit down, you sit down
I watched her fall into the ground
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?
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent
I will not, I will not put the gun in my
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent
I will not, I will not put the gun in my
I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man
