From the recording Complicated
Lyrics
In days gone by, so it is told
Through stories since time began
Take a shield a lance, kill a dragon
Just to prove you were a man
Justify how phosphorus gasses
Atom bombs or tons of napalm
Makes men of boys of all classes
Needless slaughter, so much damn harm
Offer kindness, give support
To one who is really in need
Apologies, dry your eyes, comfort
Do not focus on power and greed
It does not make you a coward
If you do not want to fight
Do not live your life in a castle
Surrounded by violent knights
You do not have to be a fighter
Just to prove you are a man
A decent and kind human being
Is much better to understand
When a knight won his spurs, in the stories of old
He was gentle and brave he was gallant and bold
