Been away a long time    Come home to ruination    Smoke swirls in blue sky    The mourning of a nation       Stick around if I dare    Or move out to the country    But living in the sticks won’t    Save you from what must be       Keep me from the frontlines    I’m no match for them    Cowardice in wartime    Hear my prayers    Amen       Go ahead and see    What happens to me       Keep me from the frontlines    I’m no match for them    Cowardice in wartime    Hear my prayers    Amen
