I have read somewhere in a book
That you can change your destiny
If you work enough, you can change your luck
Tell me where I have to be
So I can find this liberty
Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
I don't wanna have to fight
Cause I know that This is coming right
Gather up your hose
Gather up your dreams
Just to stay alive is harder than it seems
I lay awake at night wondering what to do
Then this thought came to me
We're all tainted red and blue
Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
I don't wanna have to fight
Cause I know that This is coming right
Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
Just push me straight ahead
And you'll find that This is coming right
I have learned nothing is for free
If my ship goes down No one's gonna come for me
Soldiers they take arms
And ready for the slaughter
God forgive us all our sins
We were once your sons and daughters
Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
I don't wanna have to fight
Cause I know that This is coming right
Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
Just push me straight ahead
And you'll find that This is coming right
