amerika
we've heard alot lately about
how america's strong again
what good is that strength anyway
if all we can learn from our past is a better way of killing
our nation will wave it's flag into an unmarked grave
we've heard alot lately about how amerika's proud again
our nation's spirit is running high
so often patriotism is just used to justify killing
how long are we going to put up with that lie
we've got to find a better way of living
can't go on killing each other
just because we disagree
we've got to live for our future
if we want a future
we won't survive this insanity
so our nation's returning to its state of glory
and we're once again one nation under god
but we're fighting bout right to life
while we build better bombs to kill our children with
and teaching them to hold a bible in one hand
while the other fires a gun
what kind of world are we leaving to our children
will we leave them anything at all
instead of teaching them hate and killing as an answer
we must teach them that our bombs must never fall again
and we've got to find a better way of living
can't go on killing each other
just because we disagree
we've got to live for our future
if we want a future
we won't survive this insanity
the nation's still trying to deal with the viet nam war
while our leaders prepare us for a new one
we can't stand by this time and let ourselves be fooled
peace will not be brought about with guns
we've heard from our leaders how
we're strong again
use that strength to tell them no
if they want another war
they're gonna have to fight it themselves
if they try to send us we won't go
cause we've got to find a better way of living
won't go on killing each other
just because we disagree
we have to live for our future
if we want a future
we won't survive this insanity
