[Verse 1]
Yes, it's true I am a young man
But I'm old enough to kill
I don't wanna 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 upstart
Ask what answer can I find
I ain't sayin' I'm a genius

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

[Verse 2]
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, if he died to save your lies
Go ahead and call me yellow
[Refrain]
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)

[Verse 3]
All I know is that I'm young (Two plus two is on my mind)
And your rules they are old (Two plus two is on my mind)
If I've got to kill to live (Two plus two is on my mind)
Then there's something left untold (Two plus two is on my mind)
I'm no statesman, I'm no general (Two plus two is on my mind)
I'm no kid I'll never be (Two plus two is on my mind)
It's the rules, not the soldier (Two plus two is on my mind)
That I find the real enemy (Two plus two is on my mind)
I'm no prophet, I'm no rebel (Two plus two is on my mind)
I'm just asking you why (Two plus two is on my mind)
I just want a simple answer (Two plus two is on my mind)
Why it is I've got to die (Two plus two is on my mind)
I'm a simple minded guy (Two plus two is on my mind)

[Refrain]
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is on my mind

[Outro]
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Oh, two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is fine (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is on my mind (Two plus two is on my mind)
Two plus two is
