I'd Tell You But... Lyrics

The song I'd Tell You But... is performed by Anti-Flag in the album named For Blood and Empire in the year 2006 .



Your invasion was a crime
Your righteous explanations lies
Kicking in our doors, raids at night
Won't win our heart, you've lost your minds

You're killing of my family
Did not make a fan out of me
If this is what your freedom reaps
Keep it for your United States

I'd tell you all these things
But I can't speak because

I'm dead, I'm dead
My life is life no more
I'm dead, I'm dead
Your bullets cut into my flesh
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh

I loved to read, write poetry
I loved my friends, my family
I loved the sand, I loved the sea
The water splashin' over me

Now, I will haunt you in your dreams
Never another restful sleep
I'll forever be by your side
In life your victim, death your pride

My memory will haunt you
When awake or asleep because

I'm dead, I'm dead
My life is life no more
I'm dead, I'm dead
Your bullets cut into my flesh
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh

Your cluster bombs ripped me to shreds
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
