Give a Life, Take a Life

It's your job, you're not paid to feel
You seem confused by your own ideals
Life and death is what you're saying
And if I speak, am I betraying?

I was taught you'd care
But now I'm thinking the ship is sinking
And I'm scared
You have the right to take my life away

Peace on earth is what you're teaching
(Give a life, take a life)
But do we practice what we preach?
(Give a life, take a life)
Although I question if it's just
(Give a life, take a life)
When you say it's time, then I must
(Give a life, take a life)

I was taught you'd care
But now I'm thinking the ship is sinking
No one's there
You have the right to take my life away

I was taught you'd care
But now I'm thinking the ship is sinking
No one's there
Should you have the right to take my life away?
