I Am No Killing Man (Official Music Video) - Bobby Starling

This is a song I started writing several months ago, at the onset of the United States President making increasingly inflammatory statements about several foreign countries including Canada, China, and Mexico for no other reason than unchecked nationalistic fervor.
Every nation that has to remind its citizens every day how great it is, is doing so out of hatred, not love. I believe that message needs to be shared even more now, with the potential for war in the Caribbean increasing.
There is nothing patriotic about wanting to use violence to solve diplomatic disputes. If anything, it will hurt your country in the end.

LYRICS

I will not march into this week’s most scorned foreign lands
I will not spread your hatred like wind blows the sand
Scare me if you can but I won’t raise my hand
Because I am no killing man

Well, under your rules I am hardly a man
Since I don’t like rockets or rail guns or red
The flower’s my friend, I do not covet death
For I am no killing man

Fight for world freedom, I know you will say
While a modern slave market’s a jet plane away
A hole in your logic, you don’t care today
Still I am no killing man

Oh, into different times we’re headed
But don’t tell me they’re unprecedented

I am not an AI, my user you’re not
I won’t spit out data affirming your thoughts
Nor will I partake in the madness you’ve wrought
Because I am no killing man

But if I need defending I know whom to seek
Compassionate people who cast out the bleak
If one needs the mountain we fly to its peak
With the strength of our shielding hands

Oh, into different times we’re headed
But don’t tell me they’re unprecedented
History gives us lesson after lesson
War begets war, there is no question

Whoa, whoa, whoa
