Denial I will accept all the hate you sell me Official I will believe all the lies you tell me I'm weak But you know what's right You know what's perfect for me I'll answer with weapons ablaze I trust you implicitly New rules I like your rules—I'll gladly follow your lead Dress me In khaki and brown Those colors look strong on me Show me the enemy You say he lives right next door If you say so, he dies! Now that the sky is burning Lead me to war Now, with a future uncertain, Lead us all to war After the bullet has sped through our heads After we sing songs in praise of the dead, We'll sing "Hail to the Chief" Lead me to your war No shame I feel no shame in becoming subservient Guide me Let me smell blood—the hound dog in me is hell-bent Feed me A diet of fear—keeping me loyal to you I'm a child inside Now that the sky is burning Lead me to war Now, with a future uncertain, Lead us all to war After the bullet has sped through our heads After we sing songs in praise of the dead, We'll sing "Hail to the Chief" But I don't know how.... Paint the sand wet with blood And satisfy my lust Erase the history beneath Our fear's corrosive rust Exsanguinate the infidels And treat their wives as whores I only need one sad excuse: You've led us to your war I'm true Trust me, I'm true—red, white, and blue Through and through Your foe I'm not your foe—I've spent my life loyal to you Why me? Now I've got questions with Your missiles pointing at me Too late—I die
