I Donated Myself To The Mexican Army

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
