Lyrics

Yes, it's true, I am a young man But I'm old enough to kill I don't wanna kill nobody But I must if you so will And if I raise my hand and question You just say that I'm a fool 'Cause I got the gall to ask you Can you maybe change the rule? And you stand and call my upstart Ask, what answer can I find? I ain't saying I'm a genius Two plus two is on my mind Two plus two is on my mind Well, I knew a guy in high school Just an average, friendly guy And he had himself a girlfriend And you made them say goodbye Now he's buried in the mud Off in foreign jungle land And his girl just sits and cries She just doesn't understand So you say he died for freedom Well, if he died to save your lies Go ahead and call me yellow Two plus two is on my mind Two plus two is on my mind All I know is that I'm young And your rules, they are old If I've got to kill to live Then there's something left untold I'm no statesman, I'm no general I know that I'll never be It's the rules, not the soldiers That are my real enemy I'm no prophet, I'm no rebel I'm just asking you "why?" I just want a simple answer Why it is I've got to die I'm a simple-minded guy Two plus two is on my mind Two plus two is on my mind Two plus two is on my mind
