Does It Make A Difference? Lyrics by Against Me!
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
What if I don't recognize their holidays,
Or pay respect to those who died in wars?
What if I refuse to resort to violence
To solve my conflicts,
And if I don't leave it up to their democracy
To decide what's best for me?
What if I won't beat their cross anymore?

What if I don't want anything
To do with their fucking system?
And if I refuse to give myself
To the beast that's brought death to millions,
Killed of countless cultures and raped my earth.
If I denounce the system does it make a difference?

When I turn off the T.V.
Does it really change the agenda?
When I open my mind does it make me any better?
What if I refuse to take one drink to sooth the stress,
And recognize it for the crutch that it is?
Because I won't subscribe to their death
Does it help to stop the slaughter?
What if I don't recognize their holidays,    Or pay respect to those who died in wars?   What if I refuse to resort to violence    To solve my conflicts,    And if I don't leave it up to their democracy    To decide what's best for me?    What if I won't beat their cross anymore?      What if I don't want anything    To do with their fucking system?    And if I refuse to give myself    To the beast that's brought death to millions,    Killed of countless cultures and raped my earth.    If I denounce the system does it make a difference?      When I turn off the T.V.    Does it really change the agenda?    When I open my mind does it make me any better?    What if I refuse to take one drink to sooth the stress,    And recognize it for the crutch that it is?    Because I won't subscribe to their death    Does it help to stop the slaughter?
