lyrics

Watch out, there’s a new threat coming
One of us has been decapitated
They wish I could fear them
But all I feel is grief

They won’t get my freedom
They won’t even get my hate
It’s just a bunch of fools
But no one should have to pay

I don’t wanna live
In a world of uniformity
I don’t wanna feel
All the hate that I can see
I just wana live
In a world of integrity
I just wana feel
Hope and joy
Cause this is not a war

Do you really think
We should answer by force
We need a long term plan
And not a quick fix

Instead of pitting us against each other
Why don’t we join hands together
Take the problem at its source
And educate them all

I don’t wanna live
In a world of uniformity
I don’t wanna feel
All the hate that I can see
I just wana live
In a world of integrity
I just wana feel
Hope and joy
Cause this is not a war

Exclusion, alienation
Has never been efficient
Inclusion, communication
Makes everyone find its place in our society

I don’t wanna live
In a world of uniformity
I don’t wanna feel
All the hate that I can see
I just wana live
In a world of integrity
I just wana feel
Hope and joy
Cause this is not a war
