Sometimes I think that war is necessary
Every night I pray for peace on earth
I hand out my dollars to the homeless
But believe that every able soul should workMy father gave me my shotgun
That Ill hand down to my son
Try to teach him everything it meansIm a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fightYou may not like where Im going
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to, love me if you canI stand by my right to speak freely
But I worry about what kids learn from TV
And before all of the bettin' turns to angry words and hate
Sometimes we should just agree to disagreeAnd I believe that Jesus
Looks down here and sees us
And if you asked him he would sayIm a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fightYou may not like where Im going
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to, love me if you canIm a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fightYou may not like where Im going
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can
