Lyrics:
I am the one you sent to war
And I’ve washed up on the shore
In the nude, in the dark, and in the way
Come on, push me down again
I will rise up until the end
Or until that bitch in the House leads me astray
I spend my days somewhere in between
Surrender and a chance to come clean
I am the one you sent before
And I have survived the wars
Of the left and the right and in between
I’m coming back for more
And I’m kicking down the doors
The ones that were closed at seventeen
Mouth wide open for the bitter pill
I watch it all unfold against my will
We are the ones you sent to war
But we’re not worth killing for
We just eat and sleep and love and hate and live and die
And when no one objected
We slipped through undetected
Through the laws and the lies and the reasons why
And face to face it don’t live up
To what it seemed from far away
