|
Apologies never sounded insincerer |
|
Than when calling up a mother, |
|
Her bloody child on the battle field of war, |
|
While the pretty politicians |
|
Lay their babies down to sleep. |
|
Not a chance in hell |
|
Will that boy taste the blood. |
|
And the triumphant view of liberty |
|
Stands firmly in New York, |
|
While the color of our oceans's painted red. |
|
Well president I hope you found |
|
What you went over looking for. |
|
Or is your plan to send us all |
|
Until we're dead? |
|
Because one by one we will watch them die, |
|
In shallow graves our soldiers lay, |
|
Well NBC show us the blood on the country side. |
|
God bless, god bless the USA. |
|
If the document of freedom |
|
Keeps us safely in our homes |
|
Then its fine to sacrifice our brothers blood. |
|
Cuz it ain't my son that's fighting in the war |
|
Across the seas. |
|
Give em hell boys point and shoot |
|
Their time has come. |
|
Because father son we will watch them die |
|
Manifest destiny you paved the way |
|
NBC show us the blood on the country side |
|
God bless, god bless the USA. |
|
Line us up, |
|
Give us guns, |
|
We're trained to kill, |
|
The time has come, |
|
Let this war drain all our brothers blood |
|
(repeat once) |
|
Because one by one we will watch them die, |
|
In shallow graves our soldiers lay, |
|
Well NBC show us the blood on the country side. |
|
God bless, god bless the USA. |
