I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish I was half as good
As you think I amNow that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt
And therefore nobody diesYou know it's hard to believe
Anything that you hear
They say, The world is roundWish I was as big as you
You'd have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could useNow that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt
And therefore nobody diesYou know it's hard to believe
Anything that you hear
They say, The world is round
The world is roundI want to be dependable
I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that
I can be heroic and trueI want to be a friend you can rely on
You can lean on and trust
I want to understand
So I can forgive and be willing to loveI wish I wasn't flesh and blood
I would not be scared
Bullets built with me in mind
Then I could be savedMy sweet Lord, take care of me
For I think I'm done
Kiss my mother on her cheek
Lay my burden down, lay my burden downNow that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt
And therefore nobody diesYou know it's hard to believe
Anything that you hear
They say, The world is round
The world is roundThe world is round
The world is round
