Passive Soldier

{chorus repeat 2x}
I’m a passive soldier, 
I don’t confront my enemies
I hope they self destruct 
and stay the fuck away from me.
An active minstrel, I sing a song for every day
Today the king will rule the land,
 tomorrow he’ll be cast away. 
(Verses 1) 
This is the story of a King from a land not far away
He went from King to outclassed, 
then outcast and cast away
Is there hope for us all 
in this world of constant change?
I see how much we’ve evolved, 
yet we all agree it's  strange
The progression involved, 
it only starts as a crawl
Then we run at full speed, 
we’re upright, uptight suddenly slowing down
But it’s all right, we’ve seen life 
from many angles, ups and downs.
{chorus repeat 2x}
I’m a passive soldier,
 I don’t confront my enemies
I hope they self destruct 
and stay the fuck away from me.
An active minstrel, 
I sing a song for every day
Today the king will rule the land, 
tomorrow he’ll be cast away. 
(Verse 2) 
Now back to the King, 
where we started, what I’ve told ya
He was a good man, he lived life 
as a minstrel and a soldier
He traveled the world, knew many things, 
saw many types of weather
He dreamed that one day, we may
 bring the whole wide world together.
But his evil enemies had evil ways of their own, 
Causing violence and fear by preaching hate in their homes
They fought battles and wars,
 their wives battered, divorced
And remorse was all the king could offer them,
But his help was refused and abused,
 they rejected his kingdom
{chorus repeat 2x}
I’m a passive soldier, 
I don’t confront my enemies
I hope they self destruct and stay the fuck away from me.
An active minstrel, I sing a song for every day
Today the king will rule the land, tomorrow he’ll be cast away.
