I'm Not Going

I'm not going - No, no not me

How can you run from a tragedy

I'm not going - No, no not me

So what if you got a Ph.D.

Take a look around - You'll end up in the ground

Cut in the prime of youth, slain 'cause you tell the truth

It's a mess to confess, to be young and free

Unless you hold on to your dignity

The days are short - the night are long

In the field with the beast - I do not belong

I'm sticking to my attitude

Don't take me for a common dude

Stripped from home I won't allow

The vote's any second now

I'm not going - they want to hear

Yes, yes take me

Protect me from this - my family I'll miss

It's not for me to fight

Those that I don't know

I love who I am - I'll change if I go

Corruption's in my neighborhood

The men in blue, don't think I'm good

I dress like any other guy

The question is to live of die

I can tell we're in hell, dipped in genocide

No shelter for those, to run and hide

Protest those who have authority

Death's not a threat, that's made by me

My brother's on the front line

My sister's on the front line

To volunteer your self pride

Can bring you back

A changed mind
