I fly this flag above my head

Like my father and his father before him

But these days I can't seem to fight

Wars for causes that I just don’t believe in

Our children are born singing

The same old songs of confusion and hate

And we sit by idly

And let the dead crop rise to feed this country

Don’t tell me I’m no patriot

Just because I don’t believe the lies they’re telling

If you opened your eyes for just one second

You would see the country you love crumbling at your feet

They failed you when they went back on their word

If you won't defend yourselves no one will
