Corgan described the original idea behind this song as “a funerary ‘there goes our country’ sort of thing.” After Corgan literally found himself falling asleep during a recording session, they changed the musical direction. While Roy Thomas Baker didn’t produce this particular song, it was said tha...
I want to live for God and country
I want to give for God and country
It’s too late for some
It’s too late for what you’ve done
I can’t help what i divide in you
For God and country i’ll fight
For God and country i’ll die
For God and country my soul is so alive
My soul is so alive
Lay down your arms to me
Lay down your arms for God and country
I want to live where no one’s watching my way home
I want to give until i’m bursting with unknown

My soul is so alive
Lay down your arms to me
Lay down your arms for God and country
You can’t deny God and country
We’re fighting for our lives
You can’t deny God and country
Our souls are so aligned
In this time of God and country
We’ll take you on our side
It’s alright
My soul is so alive
With God and night
With God and country
My soul is so alive
