Set a course, get me out of here
This land has lost its way I fear
Set a course, some place far away
For war is just a devil's game
And broken from where we began
Our soul was lost in Vietnam
The machine took us all for a ride
Will sacrifice everyone greed on fire
How can we stay where the storms blacken the sky?
How can we change the weather when no one's asking why, why?
I want to be more than a coward
On a hill the morning after
Looking upon the wasteland below
Set a course, get me out of here
I will not be one of their souvenirs
Abetting whores, giving them a bad a name
Takes two to understand and play this game
So, we try, hold them accountable
I see them take it all in, smiling
And the last, the last time I tried
I ended up crucified
How can we stay where the storms blacken the sky?
How can we change the weather when no one's asking why, why?
I want to be more than a coward
On a hill the morning after
Looking upon the wasteland below
