everybody's army

this lyric was written in 2003 - 2004 and is about all the wars and useless fights in the world, when in reality we should all be sticking together as one on this planet and enjoying life. i could easily have called the song "nobody's war" as well.

written - 2003/2004

collection - only me (track 1)

lyrics -

too many people know me
i don't know who they are
the enemies so friendly
they'd never start the war

the rain just passes through me
i guess my soul is cleansed
the barricades before me
divide me from the rest

but everybody's army will fight nobody's war
don't be piggy in the middle
don't state what class you are

the world must have an ending
don't know where to begin
the message i'm not sending
looks like none of us will win

i thought you understood me
our tragedies comic
in time you will discover
our comedies tragic

but everybody's victory is someone else's end
don't enjoy the journey
don't never shake their hand

everybody's violence caused everybody's peace
don't pretend your war less
never lose your friends or choose your enemies

everybody's army will fight nobody's war
if you can't defend your birthright
you don't know who you are

if you can't defend your birthright
you don't know who you are
