I donated myself to the Mexican Army

We were 10,000 guns shooting into the night

Turning screams into sand and sand into blood

And murdering darkness with fire and light



I don't know where we're goin' from here

I'm just following orders

I don't know how we'll conquer the king

This ain't my revolution



Out in the field there's no such thing as mercy

We bloom through the night into flowers of death

I don't believe anything that I've said

Jesus was heard saying under his breath



I don't know where we're goin' from here

I'm just following orders

I don't know how we'll conquer the king

This ain't my revolution



I donated myself to the Mexican Army

I gave all my love to a Mexican whore

I gave her my dreams and I gave her my money

I buried my family under her floor



I don't know where we're goin' from here

I'm just following orders

I don't know how we'll conquer the king

This ain't my revolution



I wish I believed in divine destinations

I wish I believed in a world made of light

But needles are biting the arms of salvation

And the Mexican Army is trained and ready to fight



I don't know where we're goin' from here

I'm just following orders

I don't know how we'll conquer the king

This ain't my revolution



I don't know where we're goin' from here

I'm just following orders

I don't know how we'll conquer the king

This ain't my revolution
