It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white

All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No color or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

(Out in the fields)
The fighting has begun
(On the streets)
They're falling one by one
(From the skies)
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
Or would you fight?

There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

(Out in the fields)
The fighting has begun
(On the streets)
They're falling one by one
(From the skies)
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again, oh

They're falling one by one
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun
Death is just a heartbeat away

(Out in the fields)
A heartbeat away
(Out in the fields)
Death is just a heartbeat away
(From the skies)
A heartbeat away

(In the fields)
The fighting has begun
(Out on the streets)
They're falling one by one
(From the skies)
A thousand more will die each day
