O' Say, can you see? 
By the dawn's early light 
We get 'em young, 
Give 'em guns 
And ship 'em off to fight. 
While the rocket's red glare 
Is keeping everyone scared 
They say, "just relax 
Put your trust in me 
And you can sit back and watch the war on your screen." 
The country's run by lunatics, 
They're picking up their pens, 
Writing themselves into Revelation, 
"This is how it's gonna end!" 
Well, I tried hard to bite my tongue,
Like a good American 
But they recruited my little brother 
And they're shipping off my friends.
Broad stripes and bright stars 
Through the perilous fight, 
You know those who stand to gain 
Are not the ones who sacrifice -
Watching bombs burst in air 
From a comfortable chair, 
They just say, "in God we trust, 
And God trusts in greed, 
Yeah as long as they never show real blood on TV."
I'm not sorry if this makes you mad, 
In fact I hope this wakes you up
Cause you'll never see what's going on with your eyes so tightly shut! 
There are too many unanswered questions, 
From the towers in New York 
To the lies leading up to another corporate sponsored war  
Well I'll support the troops by asking what they're really fighting for 
And I think that's more patriotic than flying a flag from my front porch.
Come on, let's go out and start a fight! 
Cause you know two wrongs always make a right. 
Come on, let's go out and start a fight! 
Cause you know two wrongs never make a right.
