"Come, my love, I know your death is not in vain. I know your life gave hope her flame."
INTRO
Little darling, please don't go
Don't worry, don't worry
VERSE ONE
Some say just trust me, but did we fight a just war justly?
Or cut off an arm when another one touched me ?
World touched cuz we clutched it lovingly?
Or done our flag injustice cuz of a bloody vengeful lust and greed?
I know we're good and they're evil but it still troubles me
We didn't turn the other cheek
Turned 1 billion into demons cuz of race, color, and creed
Of Abrahamic tree, whose name means peace
September 11 changed everything, stopped democracy
Not for the US population, but in Chile, 1973
Death squads and dictators we trained and equipped in the Middle East
And across the world, all this in the name of peace?
A cop trying to stop the communists with a drive at top speed
Officer Grim Reaper in the streets
People. Speed bumps. Better dead than not set free
That's like chopping off their heads cuz there's no more aspirin in their factories
We spit into the wind then flip out when it hits our face
Negotiate to quickly win the race
Saddam, Osama, Nori(ega, Ho Chi Minh), Dream Team CIA
Coached by (Operation) Paperclip Nazis with biological play
But that don't matter, kill everybody before they kill us
US attacked back, who can we still trust?
Must hate us so much 'cause they're jealous of our wealth and might
Not cuz we let a half a million kids die by our sanctions oversight
VERSE TWO
Jesus probably wouldn't get this, don't worry just show Him the Scriptures
His life was to inspire the Crusades, Inquisition, and Hitler
We're like Mother Theresa with kickbacks for sick delivered
But don't touch them, just drop bombs to calm them quicker
When did we become this great Christian nation?
Between the raping of slaves, hate crimes, and assassinations?
Genocide taking lives of a savage nation?
Who just happened to save us, so take their land to repay them?
You may say that's in the past, broken treaties and all that mayhem
All I see is we keep making enemies and not even praying for them
Statute of limitations wipes away the shame on us
Jesus, killed Him way back, guess I don't need to be saved by Him
But if not, must spot the blood on our hands
From the hundreds of thousands (of innocent civilians) we killed in Japan
With weapon of massive destruction in a terrorist act
Covered up by lies feeding off bigotry, Americans lives are worth more than Japs
But we don't care, just pay us our wages via corporations
With crooked tax breaks that then go straight into
The campaigns that are waged to let Congress to break in
To the banks of countries by waging war so wages can go back to the corporations
All of this reported by media owned, supported, or subsidized by Satan
Who's now incorporated, to limit his liability in case your soul gets taken
He even came up with an exchange rate indexed by inflation
On what foreign life is worth compared to an American patriot
VERSE THREE
I'm frustrated but I love this nation
Just want it to live the ideals made with its creation
Let's be honest with our actions and stop trying to rename 'em
To justify and tranquilize the lies that've made us famous
Reasons we like to believe that help us sleep at night
May hide reasons other people cry to themselves and weep at night
Some feed us reasons, and lead us like sheep at night
Diverting with fear, hoping we don't see the light
Soldiers fought bravely but many won't make it
And on both sides by their own, were thrown into a snake pit
Was it Agent Orange they tasted or something more fragrant?
We'll never know until we're not afraid to go into the basement
Because We the People decide to stay the course or change it
And have more power than we think if stay together and embraced it
And let not our rights, like the Reichstag Fire, escape with it
And take back not our leaders cheating on us because they nicely say it
So will you rise up to ensure the world's survival?
Or blindly pay no mind and worship an American Idol?
Hate is a drive with the garage door closed
Love is a ride on a bike when your hands let go
Pride is atop of a mountain all alone
Humility is walking beside others on a road
After 911, we can relate to a nation's painful call
And if we respond like in New York, they'll see heaven through us all
HOOK
Come, my love, I know your death is not in vain
I know your life gave hope her flame
