Patriot
Wave your flag, tell me I'm free It's all for nothing if you know your history Empires fall, kingdoms burn How long will it be before it is our turn? You're a tool of government oppression A fixture in a long procession Of caskets full of people who thought their government was right Patriotism is extortion The propaganda is a lie For their cause I refuse to kill or die Take a stand, raise your voice It's up to you to stand up and make a choice Freedom or death, I choose dissent I won't be a martyr for a corrupt government As you wave your flag the bombs come down Destroying families, lives and towns While a man with blood-stained pockets lines his wallet in DC I will not participate In a system based on hate War for peace is not the way for me From Letras Mania
