lyrics

I can't blame you
for doing what you did to raise our family how you wanted to
I don't wanna blame you, cuz you know I love you, Dad
I'm just so confused how you good be so good and love so much and still choose to do what you did

I guess there must not be a way to live and work ethically in this society
whatever values that you got, you're forced to give them up for a job
and if you can't do that, then in the ground your body will rot, far sooner than you thought
so keep your head down, keep your mouth shut

and we'll march along right to our graves, with our hands tied behind our backs and our eyes covered in blindfolds, sayin' "we didn't know"
we'll make the guns and drop the bombs, research the worst of poisons, whatever it takes to kill our enemies nice and slow
we'll bow to none, no gods or masters -- save for a dollar bill, just one! just one!
we'll carry on like we been taught, just go along with it. even if you know it's wrong

I can't blame you
but I gotta wonder what the hell you were thinking?
I don't wanna blame you, cuz you know I love you, Dad
what story did you tell yourself about the work that you were doing?

I know you're trapped in the same labyrinth as me and all the rest of us
there's nothing we can do
we're born into this world, umbilical attached to the war machine
there's no escape, no matter how hard we try we can't wash it away

and we'll march along right to our graves, with our hands tied behind our backs and our eyes covered in blindfolds, sayin' "we didn't know"
we'll make the guns and drop the bombs, research the worst of poisons, whatever it takes to kill our enemies nice and slow
we'll bow to none, no gods or masters -- save for a dollar bill, just one! just one!
we'll carry on like we been taught, just go along with it. even if you know it's wrong
