Paroles de Antietam

everyone but me is sick
can't breathe here, the air's too thick
i can't stand but i can't drop
can't save a man but i can't stop

there's not enough of us to ever stem this tide
the agony and filth is more than i can hide
i mustn't speak of failure but it's filling my head
and there's not enough beds for these stinking dead

i can't stay, i can't stop
can't save a man but i can't drop
amputate and i pray
always more casualties on the way
i can't stop, i can't cry
i'm only seventeen and i don't know why
why? why? why?

do what i can but they die anyway
the rebels give us more every night and day
a woman serves her country by being a nurse
i'm an angel bathed in blood and it's a god damned curse

cauterize the wounds and lay 'em up in a cot
the biggest men are laid to waste with one lead shot
please mister lincoln call this war to an end amputate and i pray
always more casualties on the way
i can't stop, i can't cry
i'm only seventeen and i don't know why
why? why? why?
