Democracy at the Point of a Gun

democracy at the point of a gun
in this city 5 million strong
rain down bombs
i'm fifteen years young
don't see much sand
i hate the sun
kill me so i can help you

you are who they say you are
we do what you say i will
self fulfilling irony
war brings peace?
tell me how you'll kill me so i can help you

how do you win peace through war
mp3 says "i need love!"
many concerns
one guitar
peace is sexy
love goes far
kill me so i can help you?

shock and awe
shock and awe ...
a mantra of a damaged heart

i pray for you
because of you
many deaths may come true
what can i do but love love love and speak my truth

democracy at the point of a gun
my city was 5 million strong
it doesn't really matter who holds the gun
there's another one gone

another one gone
