Strata - The New National Anthem lyrics

Oh, say, can you see By the dawn's early light? We get 'em young, give 'em guns, And ship 'em off to fight 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." 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 Broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight You know those who stand to gain Are not the ones who sacrifice 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." 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 are really fighting for And I think that's more patriotic Than flying a flag from my front porch 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
