They drew first blood, not fucking me
The institutions that try to decide how I should live my life
With their traditions they expect me to fall in line,
But their will, their way is not for me
Anyone thinking with an open mind is often ostracized
So my decision just to stay within my own kind is justified

They drew first blood, it wasn't me

I didn't ask for all these things
To be part of this world or part of me
And who are they to protest me
When all I want is to live peacefully
Just leave me be

Born in this world with innocent eyes
The more I see it becomes more clear to me
I cannot trust powers that be
Taught to embrace with open arms a society
That does not have a place for me
I didn't ask for this social divide
And all the racists and the scum of mankind

But now I know,
I'm on my own, so leave me be,
And I'll live my own life
This is the way things have to be
All because they drew, they drew first blood,
As corporations gain control of the world,
The more and more the common good is not served

They won't dictate or brainwash me
To buy their dreams and consume 'til I die
The best advice given to me is
Never serve who is not there to serve me

They drew first blood, it wasn't me
They drew first blood, not fucking me
