I left my home on the 3rd of July
The war was over in the blink of an eye
I was blinded, they left me crying in the rain
You talk of love and then you blow me to pieces
You try to win me with your crazy speeches
But I know that I'm worth more than another gun
When I asked for love you said you didn't understand
When I asked for peace you put a gun in my hand
When I wanted truth you told me nothing at all
Now I don't have the strength to crawl
Was in the mist of 1974
Didn't have no money, I was terribly poor
What do you know, you're just another kind of person to me
Somebody said you were too high to fall
But when you toppled it took no time at all to replace you
Now there's another person dishing it out
When I asked for love you said you didn't understand
When I asked for peace you put a gun in my hand
When I wanted truth you told me nothing at all
Now I don't have the strength to crawl
When I asked for love you said you didn't understand
When I asked for peace you put a gun in my hand
When I wanted truth you told me nothing at all
Now I don't have the strength to crawl
