I donated myself to the Mexican Army   We were 10,000 guns shooting into the night   Turning screams into sand and sand into blood   And murdering darkness with fire and light      I don't know where we're goin' from here   I'm just following orders   I don't know how we'll conquer the king   This ain't my revolution      Out in the field there's no such thing as mercy   We bloom through the night into flowers of death   I don't believe anything that I've said   Jesus was heard saying under his breath      I don't know where we're goin' from here   I'm just following orders   I don't know how we'll conquer the king   This ain't my revolution      I donated myself to the Mexican Army   I gave all my love to a Mexican whore   I gave her my dreams and I gave her my money   I buried my family under her floor      I don't know where we're goin' from here   I'm just following orders   I don't know how we'll conquer the king   This ain't my revolution      I wish I believed in divine destinations   I wish I believed in a world made of light   But needles are biting the arms of salvation   And the Mexican Army is trained and ready to fight      I don't know where we're goin' from here   I'm just following orders   I don't know how we'll conquer the king   This ain't my revolution      I don't know where we're goin' from here   I'm just following orders   I don't know how we'll conquer the king   This ain't my revolution
