These things ask the biggest question to me "And it's are you what you want to be" Chorus nananannanannana nananananna So are you what you want to be? Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah verse 2 (same as verse 1) The war machines will put out both its hands for a dollar It's drinking at the table with the chrome hand guerrillas The young ones dripping make-up lift her leg up to holla Well, I told her what she's got should be protected in the arms of love The right things in the hands of dissidents with the fire Will rip apart the marrow from the bone of the liars Well I'm afraid of saying too much and ending a martyr But even more so I'm afraid to face god and say I was a coward yeah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah aaaaah aaaah aaaah Chorus INTRO Chorus
