Erin Mckeown - Civilians текст песни

They are just civilians
We are barely civil to them
Only at times
Gonna take a million
Bodies piled and killed to
Show them we can fight

They are just civilians
We are barely civil to them
Only at times
And we are your citizens
Burrowing beneath your skin
And crawling up your spine

They are just civilians
Fighting for their place in
The company of men
Shhh! we're holding still
Waiting for the thrill
Of surprising you again

You watch yourself
And you guard yourself
You are not yourself
You are not yet safe
Watch yourself
And you guard yourself
You are not yourself
You are not yet safe

Boys I can fight
Please let me fight
Boys I can fight
Please let me fight

The treaties of civilians
We will fire at will and
From behind the lines
You who once were children
You stand and stare where buildings
Became crimes
