Lyrics

Fire at Will

They put a gun in my hand before I could barely stand
General said “This one can kill”
Well you ain’t never seen one so in love with his machine
When orders come to fire at will
Fire at will

Well they dropped us in the desert where the sun beats demon red
Told us to shoot men where they stand
And all the blood they bleed falls like water on the seeds
of an ancient hatred of our land
Of our homeland

Well I know that the sun will keep on rising
Oh but I ain’t quite so sure I’ll see the light
So I try to keep my eyes on the horizon
Cause you know I’m always ready for a fight
Yeah you know I’m always ready for a fight
Oh but I’m not sure I’m ready for this fight

Well Uncle Sam he ain’t a woman, but he sure will take your man
Send him off to distant shores
He will never show the fear that’s living in his bones
as he goes off to fight somebody else’s war
Somebody else’s war

Well I know that the sun will keep on rising
Oh but I ain’t quite so sure I’ll see the light
So I try to keep my eyes on the horizon
Cause you know I’m always ready for a fight
Yeah you know I’m always ready for a fight
Oh but I’m not sure I’m ready for this fight
