That's my boy American son Hope I'm not around when he gets the idea to buy a gun There's our boy America's gone Hope we're not to blame when he gets the idea to k** someone Have you ever really loved someone? The flag's been broken By an enemy Raised on mtv, raised on you and me Gone Yeah it's gone The land I have known in my youth Yeah it's gone and it's never coming back Where's our saviour Not looking for a sign Just want something to clean The blood from my numb and weary mind
