Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Was it just a dream?
Were you so confused?
Was it just a giant leap of logic?
Was it the time of year
That makes a state of fear?
Methods were their motives for the action
[Verse 2]
And did I hear you say?
My country, right or wrong
My country, right or wrong
My country, right or wrong
[Verse 3]
Did you save your face?
Did you breach your faith?
Women, there were children at the shelter
Now who can stop the hail
When human senses fail?
There was never any warnin', no escape
[Verse 4]
And did I hear you say?
My country, right or wrong
My country, oh, so strong
My country, right or wrong
My country, right or wrong
My country, goin' wrong
My country, right or wrong
[Verse 5]
I hear you say the truth must take a beatin'
The flag of camouflage for your deceivin'
'Cause I know (I know), I know, it's written on your soul
I know we all make mistakes
[Verse 6]
This is not a case of blurred vision
It's a case of black holes
Pocket holes, soul holes
[Verse 7]
And did I hear you say?
My country, right or wrong
My country, oh, so strong
My country, right or wrong
My country, right or wrong
My country's goin' wrong
My country, right or wrong
[Verse 8]
My country, my country, my country
