Tar and Feathers

Please - tell me why - you chose me to die

Please - tell them all - I won't run to their call

Nothing can change my mind

Not if my hands you bind

Nothing that you can find

Nothing at all

Please - tell me more - about - your so called war

I promise - not to laugh - as you paint the garden path

Nothing can change my mind

Not if my hands you bind

Nothing that you can find

Nothing at all

Leave me alone - I've got dreams of my own

A thousand and ones things to do

I've got right on my side - and I don't intend to hide

But I won't point a rocket gun for you

Now - in this cell - where the tar and feathers smell

You tried - to take my pride - but how many brave men died

And never - really understood - how a war could be for good

And no matter what the cause - could it ever - end all wars

Nothing can change my mind

Not if my hands you bind

Nothing that you can find

Nothing at all

Leave me alone - I've got dreams of my own

A thousand and ones things to do

I've got right on my side - and I don't intend to hide

But I won't point a rocket gun for you

You say that I'm meek - if I turn the other cheek

But isn't that what I'm supposed to do

An eye for an eye - but they will only die

If you can't accept another point of view

Nothing can change my mind

Not if my hands you bind

Nothing that you can find

Nothing at all
