[00:09.91] I pushed a button and elected him to office and uh -
[00:14.22] He pushed the button and dropped the bomb
[00:18.62] You pushed the button and could watch it on the television
[00:23.14]
[00:27.49] I'm sick of hearing about the have's and the have not's
[00:31.41] Have some personal accountability
[00:36.24] The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is
[00:40.65] The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me
[00:45.25] Well I used to stand for something
[00:49.14] Now I'm on my hands and knees
[00:53.36] Traded in my god for this war
[00:58.37] He signs his name with a capital G
[01:11.48] Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
[01:15.83] Don't really see what all the fuss is about
[01:20.33] Ain't gonna worry about no future generations and uh!
[01:24.64] I'm sure somebody gonna figure it out
[01:29.14] Don't try to tell me how some power can corrupt a person!
[01:33.41] You haven't had enough to know what its like
[01:37.86] You're only angry cause you wish you were in my position
[01:42.24] Now nod your head because you know that I'm right...alright!
[01:46.77] Well I used to stand for something
[01:51.08] But forgot what that could be
[01:55.61] There's a lot of me inside you
[02:00.16] Maybe you're afraid to see
[02:04.40] Well I used to stand for something
[02:08.96] Now I'm on my hands and knees
[02:13.20] Traded in my god for this war
[02:17.71] And he signs his name with a capital G
[02:57.37] Well I used to stand for something
[03:01.63] But forgot what that could be
[03:05.86] There's a lot of me inside you
[03:10.51] Maybe you're afraid to see
[03:14.89] Well I used to stand for something
[03:19.19] Now I'm on my hands and knees
[03:23.60] Traded in my god for this war
[03:28.17] And he signs his name with a capital G
