Government leaders and all the bleeders
that come and fall, lay in your head
Riot police and their claims of peace
Kill all they see and lay in your head
But I don't ever want to die
I just want to see you try and stand tall
Here's what they protest
100 Years of war now we're all dead
Tell my mother I loved her so
Tell her that I wish I could grow old
Political speeches feed all that reach them
Questioning is the fall in your head
Public figures open their mouths
But close their eyes and ears and fall to your head
I don't ever want to die
I just want to see you try and stall tall
Here's what they protest
100 Years of war now we're all dead
Tell my mother I loved her so
Tell her that I wish I could grow old
I hear them calling out my soul
I hear them, and how they wish to grow
