lyrics

Hands that are softer than clay
bearing arms I parade
in a limp masquerade.
Knees that I kneel on to pray
that's how I abdicate
of the messes I make.

Shoulder the weight of the world
beating plowshares to swords
to the drums of the horde.
Solace in watching it burn
while I'm waiting my turn.
Why can I never learn?

The fathers are playing at marching and flaying
their jackboots are loafers from Costco
and all they're displaying by soldier cosplaying
is that sometimes little boys never grow up.

Hands that are softer than clay
bearing arms I parade
in a limp masquerade.
Knees that I kneel on to pray
that's how I abdicate
of the messes I make.

The bloodshed is fodder for fatherless daughters
inheriting nothing but pain.
The meaningless slaughter feeds fields full of potters
and coffers of men who should bear the blame.
