lyrics

on the side of the road is where he died
got caught lookin' in a hole
near the town he called his home
the price was to burn alive with bullets through his sides as we rode by

they got too close
to the cavalry as they traveled
a heat round crippled their bus
the survivors tried to run
but a well-oiled war machine obeying orders and R.O.E. killed them all

I used to hope to take a life
because I was trained to respect orders more
far more than life

turn, aim, semi, fire
a few thousand times more
at shapes of men
'till it becomes muscle memory
so you no longer think
because on the battle field it's kill or be killed and you cannot yield

I used to hope to take a life
because I had to say no far too many times
when asked if i had

I used to hope to take a life
before I ever began to understand
the motives of either side

"Rochester's Gin & Bonnets play a fervent blend of folk-rock that rests at nothing to both inspire and engage. At times deeply political; at others sheer exuberance. " -Tim Avery
