I will wait here with this giant bulls-eye on my chest

Young and innocent; no more, I'll be your best damn target yet

Wipe the spit from my face when I answer which side I'm on

Remove me from this echo chamber and let my words stand on their own

Amidst the hate and the never ending wreckage from our mistakes

We see the tanks roll down Massachusetts Avenue

Between horizon suns and pendant around your neck

Soldiers, martyrs trading faces; protection or revenge

The lowest we've ever felt is the only time that we felt real

Pushed off from the lap of fate by the power-hungry hands of free will

That hold us in place as time stands still

We see the tanks roll down Massachusetts Avenue

I don't wanna die for a mistake

I don't see the difference in the lives you give and those you take

One and the same

Peace through war

The world won't change

We see the tanks roll down Massachusetts Avenue

Say goodbye to me and you and say hello to the new world order
