The American War |
| Do you remember the American War |
| It wasn’t that long ago it was fought on every shore |
| Are you trying to tell me that you didn’t know? |
| I saw you reading the paper at the corner store |
| (Yes, I know, that’s a joke) |
| Did you ever think you lived inside the belly of the beast? |
| Are you giving it something nice to eat |
| Or are you waiting for your very own special treat? |
| We like to live on easy street |
| Do you remember all the people we bombed |
| All the homes that were there that are now gone |
| Well whoever told you that life was fair |
| People have to die |
| Over there |
| Did you ever think this was the greatest country in the world? |
| With freedom and democracy and SUV’s called Liberty |
| For every boy and girl? |
| The oyster chokes on it’s own pearl |
| We know you can’t help where you’re born |
| It’s not that you’re foreign |
| It’s what you stand for |
| We know it’s hard to strat reform |
| The revolution’s born |
| But no one claims it |
| (Winning Ticket) |
| Do you remember the American War |
| We thought it was fun but it was a bore |
| Do you remember the American War |
| We forgot what we were fighting for |
| We forgot what we were fighting for |
