about

As a boy and man, I've always been fascinated about war and have always wondered what I would do or would have done if I were in the position of having to fight a war for my country. It is something that has been done over the course of human history. What drives someone to fight? But also - what happens if you are compelled to war, but don't want to have to kill someone?

lyrics

Preacher says: “thou shall not kill”
Except for the wars, voted down on capital hill
Standing in the trenches, waiting to take that hill
When the whistle blows, how far will you be ready to kill?

Don’t ask no questions, just do what your told
If you follow these simple rules, you just might sell your soul

It’s the law of the jungle in this civilized world
But how does he turn it off when he’s back home with his girl
How many poor bastards have gone before?
Think of what they might have done had they not died in war

Don’t ask no questions, just do what your told
If you follow these simple rules, you just might sell your soul

Now i’m not saying some wars aren’t just, some you may even need
But if your given the choice would you kill the enemy?

Don’t ask no questions, just do what your told
If you follow these simple rules, you just might sell your soul
