Lyrics:

Yes it's true I am a young man
But I'm old enough to kill
I don't want to kill nobody
But I must if you so will

And if I raise my hand in question
You just say that I'm a fool
Cause I got the gall to ask you
Can you maybe change the rule

And you stand and call me up-start
Ask what answer can I find
I ain't sayin I'm a genius

[Chorus]
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
[Chorus]

Well I knew a guy in high school
Just an average, friendly guy
And he had himself a girlfriend
And you made them say goodbye

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 just died to save your lies
Go ahead and call me yellow

[Chorus]

All I know is that I'm young
And your rules say I'm old
If I've got to kill to live
Then there's something left untold

I'm no statesman, I'm no general
I know that I'll never be
It's the rules, not the soldier
That are my real 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've got to die

I'm a simple minded guy
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
Two plus two is on my mind
