A Battle Hymn For Children

歌詞

Teacher Bring me to heaven Or leave me alone Why make me work so hard When you know I work slow Don't make us watch you scrape More powder on the walls Show us a laser Take us to space Or let us go We got violent games on pause at home You've seen this angst take shape Don't hide those guilty eyes You gave us guns for toys We trained with cross hair scopes Then in the name of peace we make war Sergeant I don't remember how you said to deal with guilt I'm haunted by families grieving Even soldiers kids Is it god against god And the pawns are people? If they're both the same god Then the battle's over Details Preacher Am I gonna make it? Am I going up? Am I forgiven for the humans I dropped It's not like a game once the guilt piles up If I knew what I know now It's easy to say I wouldn't go I had violent games on pause at home You know how hate takes shape Don't hide those guilty eyes You gave us guns for toys Imposed beliefs then pride We were taught that god prefers the USA Just like the billboard sign -"this is god's country" If it's true that god roots for the USA Is every bomb we drop in god's name?
