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 but 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" Well, 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 always make a right 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
