I’m a passerby in a shoot out,
a Helmandian under fire,
a commuter at a bomb scene,
a saint in the noose.
I am innocent blood.
Why d’you want to shed me and behead me?
Freeze…
and take back the bullet you fed me.
I’m an orphan on the sidewalk,
an old man in a stampede,
a daughter on the pavement,
a son in the streets.
I am innocent blood.
Why d’you want to shed me and behead me?
Freeze…
and take back the bullet you fed me.
I’m a pensionless pensioner,
an activist with no rights,
a pauper with dependents
I’m tomorrow without a future.
I am innocent blood.
Why d’you want to shed me and behead me?
Freeze…
and take back the bullet you fed me.
I’m a story without a teller,
a mind without a means,
a being without a life…
I’m blood stains on your hands.
I am innocent blood.
Why did you shed me and behead me?
Its too late…
to take back the bullet you fed me.
