lyrics

I told you once that I don't need a house,
So what makes you think I'd want a continent,
Let alone, several of them?
You didn't like when I was head of the club,
But now you're asking me to clean it up:
The bad choices you've made in my name.

Just where does my allegiance lie?

I will not be taking sides,
So stop putting me on to one.

I will not be encased in lead
And dropped upon the "other's" head
To clean up messes your tongue has made.
So you can put me on your flag, put me on your sword,
But I won't guide the hand that grabs for more
At the expense of those who don't.

If you look back at our history
I'm on the side of those underneath your feet,
And as you scrape them off your combat boots
I hope you see my face looking back at you.

It's not too late too change.
