lyrics

"Sign up now! We'll even pay for college. If there's anyone, it's your government you can trust!" You were determined to do your part to foil terrorist plots, not help perpetuate the "president's" bloodlust. Time after time, they've told you that you've won there, and in a couple weeks you'll be on your way home. But every day more soldiers die because of Rumsfeld's lies. You sit and guard a checkpoint all alone. You lied. You lied to the soldiers who died, the men and the women who fight because they believed you were right. You suck, you naysaying raker of muck. You daft, insubordinate schmuck, perpetually passing the buck. Back here all the zealous nationalist morons with "support the troops" plastered to their cars all help do their part to make sure that you stay there and you die. There's no end to their hypocrisy so far. A prime example of how ignorance and apathy leads lazy "patriots" to support what isn't right. But there are thousands of true patriots all across the world, and we're determined to not give up the fight. Nationalist Americans believe their loyalty is to their government and to their flag, just like little kids who'll love their mom and dad no matter what, even when abuse has gotten bad. Truly patriotic people see that's something's wrong, and aren't afraid to point it out because of love. We believe that change will come from education and dissent, not from preemptive strikes that bring death from above.
