Its easy to forget, really That there's blood in all this It is there though, I assure you It grows, like flowers in a field It manifests Like this sense that we are right We are golden We are free That we and only we can be bound by this righteousness A small community of flag wavers Each with a small, rolled up copy of the constitution up their **** The blood is there, I swear it I am quite sure With every living and breathing limb A member of the politicians puppeteer act And for this emblem (Everyone must wear it we say!) We shall flood the red sea So let us suppose it is a chess game That is how it seems to me Perhaps blood is merely a figment A placebo for patriotism In this chess game We wave our flag as puppeted Hope, dance, howl and pray for a checkmate

Soldier and his gun
Its easy to forget, really That there's blood in all this It is there though, I assure you It grows, like flowers in a field It manifests Like this sense that we are right We are golden We are free That we and only we can be bound by this righteousness A small community of flag wavers Each with a small, rolled up copy of the constitution up their **** The blood is there, I swear it I am quite sure With every living and breathing limb A member of the politicians puppeteer act And for this emblem (Everyone must wear it we say!) We shall flood the red sea So let us suppose it is a chess game That is how it seems to me Perhaps blood is merely a figment A placebo for patriotism In this chess game We wave our flag as puppeted Hope, dance, howl and pray for a checkmate
