Everything you see can be quantified 
So there's nothing that you'll never see again 
Time will disprove everything you know 
So there's nothing worth holding on to 
At eleven years old I knew the president was strong 
And the strong thing is the right thing to do 
We all recall the good ol' days with fondness 
As kids make sense of geopolitics 

On a clunky television in the basement 
I saw the right thing fall from the sky 
Broadcast in nightvision and in low resolution 
All you said was "there they go" 
At eleven years old I was a patriot 
Cuz a patriot's the right thing to be 
We all recall the good ol' days with fondness 
As kids make sense of geopolitics 

Basement TV says "mission accomplished" 
"Everyone will all come home" 
"War is over, war is done, we're victorious" 
"It'll never, ever happen again" 
But it happened again 

At eleven years old I knew the president was strong 
But I'm not sure that the strong thing was right 
At eleven years old I knew I was a patriot 
But I'm not sure that being a patriot is right 
At eleven years old I knew the Patriot Act was right 
And now the government knows that I don't 
At eleven years old I knew America was right 
But now I know that's false most of the time 

How can we recall the good ol' days with fondness 
We were just kids making sense of geopolitics
