Lyrics
Every penny sent is another breath we've saved
You can do your part, you can smile today
We can clothe the poor and support the weak
In your leisure life, there's no urgency
Gas prices up now, we need you more
In a distant land rages a civil war
The two can't relate
Now there's no debate
They've never needed us more
A campaign in the name of humanity
Now we've got what we want and we're leaving
Stand tall, stand proud you Americans
Take more than we need, leaving nothing
Replenished by you and your hunger
Pledge allegiance to the mask of the modern man
A thirst has been quenched
And the deserts drenched
Yet famine remains with occupying Marines
Bombs drop like rain as we level the playing field
They must pay for our American dream
A clear and present danger
Fueled by madman's anger
Four decades now is just one step away
With greed we kill and feed ourselves
Less than a dollar a day will make it all okay
Take pity and pride in the needy
Grapple with your conscience and pockets charity
We smell the smoke, well find it
We lit the fire behind it
Hide intentions; promote your peace
Lies non-profit, a four year term
Supply we steal
Demand our will
Innocent blood butters our bread
And it fucks with my head
We feast on their dead
Freedoms taken for granted
Luxuries are demanded
Arbitrate for the future the American way
If its good for us, it must be good for them
If it's good for you, you won't complain
I can't, I'm not an American
