Don't go down that road
Shown around don't feel the same
Don't follow those papers calling
They only know one name
We watched too many wonder
Thinking they had no choice
We've heard the quiet after
Louder than any voice
Don't go
Don't go down that road
Don't go down that road
Don't take on what they load
Keep your life in your hands
Keep your feet on your land
Turn the war talk down
Turn the whole thing down
Don't go down that road
Don't trust the signs they're raising
Painted fast in the dark
Don't trust the marching orders
They always miss their mark
We've seen the waiting families
Counting days that never end
We've seen the cost they're hiding
And we won't let you bend
Don't go
Don't go down that road
Don't go down that road
Don't take on what they load
Keep your life in your hands
Keep your feet on your land
Turn the war talk down
Turn the whole thing down
Don't go down that road
Don't go down that road
Don't follow sirens calling
They're born in thin white lies
Don't follow flags they're waving
They never see who dies
We've heard the broken voices
Telling truths in shattered lines
They said nothing ever changes
Except the parts they left behind
Don't go
Don't go down that road
Don't go down that road
Don't go down that road
Don't take on what they load
Don't be pushed, pulled, or promised
Don't pretend the reason's gold
Shut the war down tonight
Shut the whole thing down
Don't go down that road
(Yeah, don't go)
