‘Be all you can be
in the land of the free
fight for de-moc-racy,
hold your head high
Theres money for school
and the uniforms cool
if you play by the rules
you’ll be just fine
But avert your eyes
as the bombs start to fly
and the caskets roll by
don’t you worry.
It won’t happen to you
if you see this thing through
for the red, white, and blue,
God’s on your side
They’ll throw a parade
and then you’ll have it made,
you’re just bound to get laid,
you’ll be a hero.
Yeah, we’re 16 years in
but I just know we will win’
They will say with a grin
as you’re signing.
And as you raise your hand
you still won’t understand
all the flames we have fanned,
after we lit them.
We pour on gasoline
to countless fires, unseen
feeding this war machine,
welcome to it…
When they cut off your hair
and tell you what clothes to wear
and tell you to grow a pair,
its still not too late
but as the stray bullets fly
and you look to the sky
cursing God for this lie,
then it’s too late.
Tell your mother your fine
as she drinks her box wine
and on veggie omelet you dine,
Happy Birthday.
You avert your eyes
as you see through the lies
and your soul slowly dies,
‘Heres some medals’…
