pensive unrestive erase identity

one of millions marchingrunningshooting out at sea

you tell me to runjumpfightkill

so we can have world peace...

but you all runjumpfightkill

men women children

who look just like me...

ive served my country

but does my country serve me?

ive loved this country

but does my country love me?

who will survive in America

will we ever be free?

this elusive thing you all call freedom

when will it come to me and mine??

< my life in its name>>
