Lyrics

A fire's burning in my eyes
I'll give my life; I'll fight and die for this country that's been my home - this country I call my own
I trust in those who command me, so I'll fight with pride and integrity
To stop those who would jeopardize the freedom and prosperity of american lives
So wave that flag and wave it high
That red, white, and blue bolsters my pride
It reminds of the freedom I'm trying to save - land of the free, home of the brave
The war is coming I've heard the call
Time to fight and give it my all
America the beautiful, we cannot be beat
We are the righteous chosen elite

Bullshit

Let it begin

But wait a minute it seems I've failed to see; those I trusted have lied to me
They've used my body like a child's toy, discarding me when I was destroyed
Now I lay bleeding in the sand; my blood is running through my hand
I wish that I could stand just once more
To resist the system that left me at death's door

Let it begin with you

I will think for myself
My mind's a gun and these words are the shells
Assassinate the ideas of old and let it begin
