[VERSE]
Flew in on the Prid-wen
Oh, lord what did I see
A world full of the killin
Staring right back at me
They told me we were righteous
They told me we were steel
But nobody told me
How righteous really feels
[CHORUS]
I didn't join up for the glory
I joined 'cause I believed
But if there ain’t no mercy
Then it ain’t the thing for me
[VERSE]
Elder, did you lie to me?
This don’t feel right at all
Signed up to be the good guys
Not to help you kill ‘em all
Too many innocents are dyin
Too many heads are on the wall
Elder, help me understand
Cause it don’t make no sense at all
[CHORUS]
I didn't join up for the glory
I joined 'cause I believed
But if there ain’t no mercy
Then it ain’t the thing for me
[VERSE]
No matter who they are
T-60 mows em down easily
Ad Victorium you say
But this don’t feel like victory
Ridin shotgun in the Vertibird
Shootin synthies we aint accused
Might be robot on the inside
But they might be human too
[CHORUS]
I didn't join up for the glory
I joined 'cause I believed
But if there ain’t no mercy
Then it ain’t the thing for me
[BRIDGE]
Saw some children down there
Yellin for help down in the dirt
Didn't look like enemies to me
We could put ‘em in the Virt
Instead we flew right over
Didn't stop to lend a hand
Tell me how that’s righteous
Cause I don’t understand
[CHORUS]
I didn't join up for the glory
I joined 'cause I believed
But if there ain’t no mercy
Then it ain’t the thing for me
[FINAL VERSE]
Laid my B.O.S. colors down
Walked out deep into the night
Found some folks with nothing
But still trying to do what’s right
No Elder, Lord or Ruler
Givin orders and demands
Just some ordinary people
Doin everything they can
[OUTRO]
And I finally found the good guys
My true people, my clan
It ain’t the Brotherhood
You can call me a Minuteman
