Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
[Verse 2]
There's a Gulf War vet
Dying a slow, cold death
And the government says
We don't know the source of his sickness
[Verse 3]
But don't believe what they say
Because your government is lying
They've done it before
And don't you know they'll do it again?
[Verse 4]
A secret test, government built virus
Subject test group, Gulf battlefield troops
[Verse 5]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
[Verse 6]
First World War veterans slaughtered
By General Eisenhower
You give 'em your life, they give you a stab in the back
They give you a stab in the back
[Verse 7]
Radiation, Agent Orange
Tested on US souls
Guinea pigs for western corporations
[Verse 8]
I never have
I never will pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used, you'll end up dead
[Verse 9]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
[Verse 10]
I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be, fuck you
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think, what to think
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think
[Verse 11]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
[Verse 12]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
[Verse 13]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
[Verse 14]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
[Verse 15]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit
