Maybe not exactly 100% correct but much better than the ones originally posted...

How long, how long are you asking me to stay? I cannot stand to watch you kneel today I saw your hope and turned my face away from you

But under her skirt I see the nation's pain All caked with dirt, she crossed her legs in shame How can you hurt a man who knows your name? It's true

I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent I will not, I will not put the gun in my I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent I will not, I will not put the gun in my I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man

Just sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down I watched her fall into the ground

How wrong, how wrong it is to let us guess which god is real? Which faith would suit us best? Oh god of beasts, quit trying to impress Are you alive? Why?

I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent I will not, I will not put the gun in my I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man

Just sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down I watched her fall into the ground

If you say, I believe it now, what we got we gave away Holy god, that we have failed We killed your carpenter with nails In the end, when the fire comes burning up the souls we spend Is there words? Would we have paid?

I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent I will not, I will not put the gun in my I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent I will not, I will not put the gun in my I cannot, I cannot kill an innocent man

Just sit down...
