[Intro]

We're going to put you on Easy Street

Gonna promote you to Major and give you another medal

Glorify your exploits, send you home a hero

You'll have parades in your honor

You can make speeches to raise money for war bonds

And all you have to do is be our pal, say nice things about us

Tell the folks at home what a good job we're doing

My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today

That I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever

We begin bombing in five minutes

We begin bombing in five minutes


[Verse 1]

Cold incisions, the vile conditions

Canine infliction for your disease

Tortured civilians, blatant maltreatment

Cruelty for suspect insurgencies

Dead victims, interrogation leash for you

False witness, interrogation leash for me

Forced naked, interrogation leash for you

Portray the sickness, come wake up and smell the fear


[Chorus]

How can you turn your face to me

When you know these walls are screaming?

How can you hide your guilt from me

When you know these walls are bleeding?

How can you turn your face to me

When you know these walls are screaming?

How can you hide your guilt from me

When you know these walls are bleeding?


[Verse 2]

No proceedings, the wounds unhealing

Consolation, a deed obscene

Tortured civilians, blatant maltreatment

Cruelty for suspect insurgencies

Dead victims, interrogation leash for you

False witness, interrogation leash for me

Forced naked, interrogation leash for you

Portray the sickness, come wake up and smell the fear


[Chorus]

How can you turn your face to me

When you know these walls are screaming?

How can you hide your guilt from me

When you know these walls are bleeding?

How can you turn your face to me

When you know these walls are screaming?

How can you hide your guilt from me

When you know these walls are bleeding?


[Bridge]

Oh, for heaven's sake, don't you understand?

We're gonna come out of this war rich

Oh, for heaven's sake, don't you understand?

We're gonna come out of this war rich

You're gonna come out rich, we're gonna come out dead


[Chorus]

How can you turn your face to me

When you know these walls are screaming?

How can you hide your guilt from me

When you know these walls are bleeding?

How can you turn your face to me

When you know these walls are screaming?

How can you hide your guilt from me

When you know these walls are bleeding?

How can you turn your face to me

When you know these walls are screaming?

How can you hide your guilt from me

When you know these walls are bleeding?


[Outro]

Glorify your exploits, send you home a hero

You'll have parades in your honor

You can make speeches to raise money for war bonds

And all you have to do is be our pal, say nice things about us

Tell the folks at home what a good job we're doing
