This Time

I don't wanna hurt you, dad
I don't wanna scare you, mom, or make you sad
I don't wanna live inside a tomb
I don't wanna leave you here
I don't wanna close my eyes when you're near
I don't wanna leave my house or room

This time is not for liars
This time is not for cheats
This time is not for gazing at your feet
This time is not for cowards
This time is not for hate
This time is not for guards out by the gate

I don't wanna loose this war
But sometimes I forget just what I came here for
I don't just wanna do good man, I wanna do right
I don't wanna scare you, friend
Or take away anything on which you might depend
But I don't know if there's anything left to fight for

This time is not for beggars
This time is not for thieves
This time is not for miracles or grief
This time is not for mercy
Mercy from the rain
This time is not for pleasure, pills or pain

Can you feel it?
Can you see?

Everybody's changing now

This time is not for trenches
This time is not for swords
This time is not for prayin', sayin' "Dear, dear Lord"
This time is not for comics
This time is not for space
This time's for taking punches in your face
