("What are you talking about? America isn't going to be destroyed"
|
"Never? Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed... Spain was destroyed.
|
All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours?
|
How much longer do you really think your own country will last... forever?")
|
|
Block the entrances, close the doors
|
Seal the exits because this is war
|
|
All gave some, some gave all
|
But for what I want to know
|
|
Carry on, don't mind me
|
All I gave was everything
|
And yet you ask me for more
|
Fought your fight
|
Bought your lie
|
In return I lost my life
|
What purpose does this serve?
|
|
A folded flag
|
A purple heart
|
A family all but torn apart
|
And I fought with courage to preserve
|
Not my way of life, but yours
|
|
Carry on, don't mind me
|
All I gave was everything
|
And yet you ask me for more
|
Fought your fight
|
Bought your lie
|
In return I lost my life
|
What purpose does this serve?
|
|
The cowards preach from pedestals
|
With words like courage and resolve
|
But what they meant was fuck them all
|
Beacause freedom isn't free
|
|
They send our daughters and our sons
|
To deserts under burning suns
|
A sacrificial slaughtering
|
To fill the pockets of the weak
|
|
An artifical enemy...
|
Are we so easily deceived?
|
|
("You're a shameful opportunist! What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
|
"You have it backwards... it's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees")
|
|
Carry on
|
Just walk away
|
How many more sent to their graves
|
In this lesson ignored?
|
I fought your fight
|
Bought your lie
|
And in return I lost my life
|
What purpose does this serve?
|
What purpose did I serve?
