N.C. I'm a sword but I find myself blunt And that is no use when I'm fighting my history, fighting my history N.C. I have no blade, I'm more like a feather That is no use when I' m fighting my history, fighting my history N.C. I have no blade, I'm more like a feather But I can't fly away when I'm fighting myself
