[Verse 1]
O' say, can you see
By the dawn's early light?
We get 'em young, give 'em guns
And ship 'em off to fight
[Pre-Chorus]
While the rocket's red glare
Is keeping everyone scared
They say, "Just relax
Put your trust in me
And you can sit back and
Watch the war on your screen"
[Chorus]
The country's run by lunatics
They're picking up their pens
Writing themselves into Revelation
"This is how it's gonna end!"
Well, I tried hard to bite my tongue
Like a good American
But they recruited my little brother
And they're shipping off my friends
[Verse 2]
Broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
You know those who stand to gain
Are not the ones who sacrifice
[Pre-Chorus]
Watching bombs burst in air
From a comfortable chair
They just say, "In God we trust
And God trusts in greed," yeah
"As long as they never show real blood
On TV"
[Chorus]
I'm not sorry if this makes you mad
In fact, I hope this wakes you up
'Cause you'll never see what's going on
With your eyes so tightly shut!
There are too many unanswered questions
From the Towers in New York
To the lies leading up to
Another corporate-sponsored war
Well, I support the troops by asking
What they're really fighting for
And I think that's more patriotic
Than flying a flag from my front porch
[Bridge]
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
'Cause you know two wrongs always make a right
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
'Cause you know two wrongs always make a right
[Outro]
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
'Cause you know two wrongs always make a right
Come on, let's go out and start a fight!
'Cause you know two wrongs never make a right
