Erik Blood - Odds for Sods Lyrics

I don't want to fight
I don't want to die

I've spent half my life to find a place for us
I thought this city would be safe for us
Oh darling tell me if I'm asking way too much
To find a leader who'll stand up for us

I don't want to fight
I don't want to die

They jump from cars with bats and chains for us
I don't believe that the times have really changed too much
These cuts and bruises, they won't heal tonight
But will they make us stronger like I hope they might

I don't want to fight
I don't want to die

Oh Jesus, won't you come and ease my mind
Before they take away all of our kind

How long until they come to take our lives
They send their children to shoot us on sight

I don't know why
But I have to try
And if I have to die
I'll fight

But I don't want to fight
And I don't want to die
I just want the right to life
