PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Four years ago you wouldn't care

If people thought of you as American

This patriotism is an epidemic

A sickness fueled by the face of greed

Look at yourself, you're a product of society

It's all coming down on what you take for granted

Every man can be bought for a price

You are the whore that feeds the flame of capitalism



And all I ever knew was what we never had

And now we're lost alone



Three thousand dead and now you're proud to be American

Stars and stripes: Commercial gold for the millennium

Cashing in on tragedy, let's hear it for democracy

A slave to a nation overcast in hypocrisy



In God We Trust

In God We Trust



Am I alone when I say that it's bullshit

That it took the loss of so many lives

To even give a fuck about America?

So much for our military sacrifice

Look at yourself, you're a corporate tool

A fucking waste called a patriot

Maybe someday you'll learn what tragedy is

More than incentive to raise your colors



And all I ever knew was what we never had

And now we're lost alone



Three thousand dead and now you're proud to be American

Red, white, and blue: Commercial gold for the millennium

Cashing in on tragedy, the fragments of society

Burn your flags in the name of democracy



Three thousand dead and now you're proud to be American

Stars and stripes: Commercial gold for the millennium

Cashing in on tragedy, let's hear it for democracy

A slave to a nation overcast in hypocrisy

Three thousand dead and now you're proud to be American

Red, white, and blue: Commercial gold for the millennium

Cashing in on tragedy, the fragments of society

Burn your flags in the name of democracy



And all I ever knew was what we never had

And now we're lost alone
