Ow!
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
And it's hell down here below
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
And it's hell down here below
I refuse the right to kill (Conscientious objector)
To fight a war against my will
I'm serving time, the high prison wall (Conscientious objector)
Because my mind disagrees with war
I love my country, red, white and blue
But I must live with my conscience too
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
And it's hell down here below
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
And it's hell down here below
If I'm free, why am I in jail? (Conscientious objector)
Why was I taught, "Thou shalt not kill"?
The prison guard standing over me (Conscientious objector)
Rats and bedbugs are my company
Sweet heaven dwells in New York City
I long to see her smiling face so pretty
Heaven, oh, heaven
Lead me there when I get there
Ow!
ย
At night I dream a world of peace (Conscientious objector)
The hate and war and killing cease
Iron wings flying me on high (Conscientious objector)
Sweet heaven waits on the other side
I love my country, red, white and blue
But I must live with my conscience too
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
And it's hell down here below
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
And it's hell down here below
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
And it's hell down here below
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
And it's hell down here below
I'm twelve hundred miles from heaven
