The sky is bright but that's no sun
It's just the monsters we've become
Training the youth to war machines
And taking down the enemy
"Defend your freedom", "Where's your pride?"
And if you make it out alive
You'll realize what you're fighting for
Your stupid greed, this bullshit war
Obey or decay - The American Way
Volunteer your life away
Pray that tomorrow you'll see the day
Sign your name on the dotted line
Retreat, reload, you're out of time
Drop the bombs, search and destroy
Dead souls come home, more are deployed
Your son's coming home with an American flag
Wrapped around his body bag
Your crucifix won't get you through
Leave your god and faith behind you
Collect the dogtags, count the dead
Raise the flags, do it all again
Desecrate then celebrate, and liberate (liberate! )
Volunteer your life away
Pray that tomorrow you'll see the day
Sign your name on the dotted line
Retreat, reload, you're out of time
Volunteer your life away [2x]
Pray tomorrow you'll see the day [2x]
Lost another one today [2x]
Fly the fucking flags and walk away
[2x]
Volunteer your life away
Pray that tomorrow you'll see the day
