Civilians Against the Soldiers

from Empire Building by Bill White

lyrics

It doesnt matter what I believe
Im not going to interfere with you
Be whoever you want to be
Do whatever you want to do
You might be a homophobic racist
and I might be a Puerto Rican queer
But that dont mean shit to me
We're both alive and we are here
In our hearts we are brothers
And will stand together with each other
Come hell or come high water
When the tanks are in the street

It doesnt matter to me
Whether you are on the right or left
Its just your way of saying
How you want your taxes spent
Some want health education and welfare
Others want industry and war
The only thing worth fighting for
Is the safety of our people
When the National Guard tears up our streets.

Repeat chorus

I woudn't kill a chicken if i were hungry
But I wont interfere with your right to own a gun
but if you wear a badge and abuse it
ill raise my hand against you
to protect the ones i love
In 1864, General sherman burned Atlanta
26 years later, President Harrison massacred the Lakota tribes
A hundred years of atrocities,
then 76 men women and children in Waco Texas burned alive
Is that what they refer to when they pray to return to simpler times?

Repeat Chorus
