You lit the fuse then you turned around
Running for glory from higher ground
With a smile doing as you please

To skew the world by a few degrees

Holding back their swollen pride

But they keep the hate inside
It's a gun in an innocent hand
The baby boy playing the man


You say, you understand this more than I do
Comprehend this more than I do

So please explain to me
Why they are my enemy
You understand this more than I do

Comprehend this more than I do
So please explain to me
Why I am your enemy


And when your back is to the wall
When you live and give it all

The little girl fallen in her yard
Her father dealt the hardest card


You drop the bombs and start the war
Push the boys and ask for more
It's the blood on some distant sand

Turns to black beneath the caravan

You say, you understand this more than I do

Comprehend this more than I do
So please explain to me
Why I am your enemy
