Yes it's true I am a young man, but I'm old enough to kill. But I don't want to kill no body, but I must if you so will. And if I raise my hand in question, you'll just say that I'm a fool.
Cause I got the Gaul to ask you, can you maybe change the rules. And you stand and call me upstart, ask what answers I can find. I ain't saying I'm A genius, Two Plus Two Is on my mind. Two Plus Two Is on my mind.
Well I knew A guy in high school, just an average friendly guy. And he had himself A girlfriend, and you made them say good-bye. Now he's buried in the mud, of A foreign jungle land. And his girl just sits and cries, she just doesn't understand. So you say he died for freedom, well he died to save your lives. Go ahead and call me yellow, Two Plus Two Is on my mind. Two Plus Two Is on my mind.
All I know is that I'm young, and your rules say I'm old. If I got to kill to live, then there's something left untold I'm no speech man I'm no general, I know that I'll never be. It's the rules not the soldier, that I'm not the enemy. I'm no Prophet, I'm no rebel, I'm just asking you why. I just want a simple answer, why it is I got to die? I'm a simple minded guy. Two Plus Two Is on my mind.
