Erin McKeown - Civilians lyrics
[Erin McKeown - Civilians lyrics]
They are just civilians
We are barely civil to them only at times
Gonna take a million
Bodies piled and killed to
Show them we can fight
They are just civilians
We are barely civil to them only at times
And we are your citizens
Burrowing beneath your skin
And crawling up your spine
They are just civilians
Fighting for their place in
The company of men shhh! we're holding still
Waiting for the thrill
Of surprising you again
You watch yourself and you guard yourself
You are not yourself you are not yet safe
Watch yourself and you guard yourself
You are not yourself you are not yet safe
Boys I can fight please let me fight
Boys I can fight please let me fight
The treaties of civilians
We will fire at will and
From behind the lines
You who once were children
You stand and stare where buildings
Became crimes
We are barely civil to them only at times
Gonna take a million
Bodies piled and killed to
Show them we can fight
They are just civilians
We are barely civil to them only at times
And we are your citizens
Burrowing beneath your skin
And crawling up your spine
They are just civilians
Fighting for their place in
The company of men shhh! we're holding still
Waiting for the thrill
Of surprising you again
You watch yourself and you guard yourself
You are not yourself you are not yet safe
Watch yourself and you guard yourself
You are not yourself you are not yet safe
Boys I can fight please let me fight
Boys I can fight please let me fight
The treaties of civilians
We will fire at will and
From behind the lines
You who once were children
You stand and stare where buildings
Became crimes
