Verse 1

Sometimes think that war is necessary

Every night I pray for peace on earth

And I hand out my dollars to the homeless

But believe that every able soul should work

[Pre Chorus]

My father gave me my shotgun

That I'll hand down to my son

Try to teach him everything it means

Chorus

I'm a man of my convictions

Call me wrong, call me right

But I bring my better angels to every fight

You may not like where I'm goin'

But you sure know where I stand

Hate me if you want to

Love me if you can

Verse 2

I stand by my right to speak freely

But I worry 'bout what kids learn from TV

And before all of debatin' turns to angry words and hate

Sometimes we should just agree to disagree

[Pre Chorus]

And I believe that Jesus

Looks down here and sees us

And if you ask him, he would say

Chorus out
