Didn't sign up for this, didn't plan for that
Caught behind enemy lines
Like a scaredy old cat
A scaredy old cat
Me and my buddies thought
We build ourselves a boat
Maybe head down the river
Try to keep ourselves afloat
Fear and desire gonna keep us all alive
Fear and desire, five by five
We spotted a girl, she had a strange face
Didn't speak our language, we gave her a chase
When we finally caught her we tied her to a tree
Inside my head I thought, This is not really me
Fear and desire gonna keep us all alive
Fear and desire, five by five
Men go to war to kill their enemy
What other purpose could there be
They took what's ours and we take it back
With blood in our eyes we scream attack
The girl stayed behind with Billy
He shot her in the head
While the rest of us
Decided to kill the enemy general dead
Fear and desire can drive a man insane
Fear and desire can mess with your brain
With fear and desire, I smoke the enemy
Fear and desire
He looks just like me
