Committed To Life Lyrics - Asian Dub Foundation

I'll be honest with you 

I hate war in all its forms 

Physical, psychological, spiritual 

Emotional, environmental 

I hate war 

And I hate having to struggle, I, I, I honestly do 

Because I, I wish I had been the into a world where it's unnecessary 

This context of struggle and being a warrior and being a struggler 

Has been forced on me by oppression 

Otherwise I would be a, a sculptor, or a gardener, carpenter 

You know, I would be free to be so much more 

I guess part of me or a part of who I am, a part of what I do 

Is being a warrior, a reluctant warrior, a reluctant struggler 

But, I do it because I'm committed to life 

We can't avoid it, we can't run away from it 

Because to do that is to be cowardice 

To do that is to be subservient to devils, subservient to evil 

And so that the only way to live on this planet 

With any human dignity at the moment is to struggle 

I'll be honest with you 

I hate war in all its forms 

Physical, psychological, spiritual 

Emotional, environmental 

I hate war 

And I hate having to struggle, I, I, I honestly do 

Because I, I wish I had been the into a world where it's unnecessary 

This context of struggle and being a warrior and being a struggler 

Has been forced on me by oppression 

I guess part of me or a part of who I am, a part of what I do 

Is being a warrior, a reluctant warrior, a reluctant struggler 

But, I do it because I'm committed to life 

We can't avoid it, we can't run away from it 

Because to do that is to be cowardice 

To do that is to be subservient
