[Verse 1]

You can't tell me how to be, you can't tell me

What I should see when I'm sleepin', I'm still believin'

Stripped of all identity, I try to sleep, I grit my teeth

I'm so afraid, what will tomorrow bring?

[Chorus]

I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand

To see much more atrocity, atrocity

I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand

To see much more atrocity

[Verse 2]

You can't tell me what to say, I will follow my own way

'Cause I'm a person, I'm a thinking person

Please believe that love's not lost, hate and shame, a crooked cross

I'm so ashamed, don't make martyrs out of us

[Chorus]

I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand

To see much more atrocity, atrocity

I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand

To see much more atrocity

[Verse 3]

And when the bombs come falling down

The hate is still inside of you

But if you want a better world

Then I'll be right behind you

[Chorus]

I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand

To see much more atrocity, atrocity

I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand

To see much more atrocity

[Outro]

I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand

To see much more atrocity

I won't fight in any wars and I can't stand

To see much more atrocity
