I don't want to spend the rest of my life

Looking at the barrel of an Armalite

I don't want to spend the rest of my days

Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say

I don't want to spend my time in hell

Looking at the walls of a prison cell

I don't ever want to play the part

Of a statistic on a government chart



There has to be an invisible sun

It gives its heat to everyone

There has to be an invisible sun

That gives us hope when the whole day's done



It's dark all day, and it glows all night

Factory smoke and acetylene light

I face the day with me head caved in

Looking like something that the cat brought in



There has to be an invisible sun

It gives its heat to everyone

There has to be an invisible sun

That gives us hope when the whole day's done



And they're only going to change this place by

Killing everybody in the human race

And they would kill me for a cigarette

But I don't even wanna die just yet



There has to be an invisible sun

It gives its heat to everyone

There has to be an invisible sun

It gives us hope when the whole day's done
