Stand To Attention Lyrics
Stand To Attention by Bitter Ruin
Into an urn full of life
Full of passion of the wrong kind
And my only option was fight
“Go, you will march” I was told, I was laden with a gun
And I knew of a plan
And I knew my point of contact
And empty handed I can't come back
And though I knew my mind was consumed
I had no where I could run to
So I'd hide behind enemy lines
And though I was free to leave whenever
I knew that if I endeavored
Through the fences I'd be caught defenseless
They are only human
Like you and I
So who are they to tell us who to be?
And why do we follow them
And cry when we stand to attention?
I should have screamed
Should have clawed
Had I not been in the midst of a fight, of a war
Had I not been in the searchlight
Had the smog not blurred my eyesight
And I had a bullet had a gun
But victimized my courage gone
And had I made it out the other side I wouldn't have a place to hide
They are only human
Like you and I
So who are they to tell us who to be?
And why do we follow them
And cry when we stand to attention?
And I shot and I hit and things I can't live with
Are pushing me harder to grow
But had I not been through this
I wouldn't be witness
To a strength many can't claim to know
They are only human
Like you and I
So who are they to tell us who to be?
And why do we follow them
And cry when we stand to attention?
