+++Here's where it all makes sense+++
-intro-
My father told me "Son, it's futile to resist. You can topple ideology,
but not the armies, they enlist." I questioned the intentions of the
boyscouts chanting "War!!!" "Well, that's the sound of freedom son," he
said (free to say no more).....
-bridge-
But wait a minute, "dad", did you actually say freedom? Well, if you're
dumb enough to vote, you're fucking dumb enough to believe him. Because
if this country is so goddamn free, than I can burn your fucking flag
wherever I damn well please.
-bridge II-
And you can go stick it up your fucking ass!!!!!
-verse-
I carried their anthem, convinced it was mine. Rhymless unreasoned
conjecture kept me in line.
-chorus-
Then I stood back and wondered what the fuck had they done to me. Made
accomplice to all that I promised I would never fucking be.
-bridge II-
-verse-
You carry their anthem, convinced that it's yours. Invitation to honour.
Invitation to war.
-chorus-
Bette Midler now assumes sainthood. Romanticize murder for morale. Tie a
yellow ribbon 'round the oak tree my friend and,"Gee Wally, that's
swell!"
Fuck the troops (insert corny but relevant\ poignant catchphrase here)!!!
