Lyrics
It’s the same century in, and decade out
If it happens again tonight, this time will you scream? This time will you
shout cuz
Twenty years of your life have gone by in the blink of an eye — the blink of an
eye
And the only thing we know for sure? We’re all gonna die
And it’s okay to be terrified
Cuz we know some day this just won’t fly
It might be now, it might be many years down the line
And when they push a gun into your hand and say «You're gonna kill this man,
in the name of Uncle Sam»
Is that alright with you? Cuz it ain’t fine by me — he’s not my enemy
And now you’re staring down the barrel of yet another gun
We’ll let or new doctrine reign
We can choose to stand or choose to fall as one
When you see the bullets fly, don’t dare blink an eye — don’t dare blink an eye
cuz
The only thing we know for sure? We’re all gonna die
And it’s okay to be terrified
Cuz we know some day this just won’t fly
It might be now, it might be many years down the line
And when they push a gun into your hand and say «You're gonna kill this man,
in the name of Uncle Sam»
Is that alright with you? Cuz it ain’t fine by me — he’s not my enemy
