ANTI-FLAG LYRICS - I'd Tell You But

"I'd Tell You But..."



Your invasion was a crime

Your righteous explanations - lies

Kicking in our doors, raids at night

Won't win you hearts, you've lost your minds.

Your killing of my family

Did not make a fan out of me

If this is what your freedom reaps

Keep it for your United States.

I'd tell you all these things but I can't speak because...



I'm dead, I'm dead

my life is life no more

I'm dead, I'm dead

your bullets cut into my flesh

Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh



I love to read, write poetry

I love my friends, my family

I love the sand and love the sea

The water splashing over me

Now I will haunt you in your dreams

Never another restful sleep

I'll forever be by your side.

In life you're victim, death your bride.

My memory will haunt you when you're awake or asleep because...



I'm dead, I'm dead

my life is life no more

I'm dead, I'm dead

your bullets cut into my flesh

Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh

Your cluster bombs ripped me to shreds

Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
