On the screen so many people killing people
Mass confrontation, it sets our tone
And the reasoning is simple, gotta prove our might some way
Gotta flex our muscles, flex our macho pride
Gonna make this nation a better place
No in-betweens, no middle ground
While power-starved good soldiers force the show
And we congregate to kill while the nation sings along
Patriotic praise for decisions that are wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Praise
[Chorus]
And I'm supposed to be proud and hold my head up high
And act like I am worthy of respect I do not share
Make judgments, condemnations; do the best we can
It's our nationalistic chance to silence fellow man
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And we fight our wars to win and we gain our self-esteem
And our young will see strong victories in history
Whether backed by foreign guns or trained by U.S. sons
We're dyin' for a cause and a place in time
With the answer somewhere distant
Or do we find 'em here at home?
Why can't we can the blame, allow for peace, not call out names?
Say, "Do you wanna die?"
I don't wanna die to end their power design
[Pre-Chorus]
Praise
[Chorus]
And I'm supposed to be proud and hold my head up high
And act like I am worthy of respect I do not share
Make judgments, condemnations; do the best we can
It's our nationalistic chance to silence fellow man
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And I'm supposed to be proud and hold my head up high
And act like I am worthy of respect I do not share
Make judgments, condemnations; do the best we can
It's our nationalistic chance to silence fellow man
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah-eah-eah-eah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
It's your right to die, your right to die
Demand it, or see through it
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
