Laura Jane Grace - Does It Make A Difference lyrics

[Intro] What if I don't recognize their holidays Or pay respect to those who died in wars? [Chorus] What if I refuse to resort to violence to solve my conflicts And if I don't leave it up to their democracy to decide what's best for me? What if I won't beat their cross anymore? [Verse 1] What if I don't want anything to do with their f**ing system? And if I refuse to give myself to the beast that's brought d**h to millions k**ed of countless cultures and raped my earth If I denounce the system does it make a difference? [Verse 2] When I turn off the T.V. does it really change the agenda? When I open my mind does it make me any better? What if I refuse to take one drink to sooth the stress And recognize it for the crutch that it is? Because I won't subscribe to their d**h does it help to stop the slaughter?
