Blanket

If I kill one innocent person, to save twenty or more…
…will I be a hero in your heaven, if I die to praise a lord?

I can perfect my Elvis Presley lip-curl
While I'm staring at the whole wide world
And I'm reporting to no one
Being the subversive is so much fun

I wonder what it's like killing non- combatants,
There is no such thing as a surgical strike
Whatever happens, happens.
Maybe it will happen tonight.

Is this just a justification?
Does testosterone make you serious?
Did I just give myself instructions to go numb and be furious?

I'm about a quart low on milk of amnesia.
It's getting harder to be martyr.

I've got violence running hot
I've got violence running cold
Whatever happens, happens,

What's your definition of innocence?
