It’s ******* Veterans Day He said as my teeth turned into shrapnel on the street He had the right to remain violent I had the right to remain silent Men have died for your right to speak How dare you question the military? Dissent squashed with brute force Drone strikes on a straight course Bang Bang! Like the pixels on a Playstation His hands return ****** to the deployment station PTSD on the brain IUD as cremation It’s ******* Veterans Day Pay your respects I’ll collect your debts And turn them into fighter jets You say you support the troops Or do you really support Fox News Or MSNBC What ever you choose It’s information that you lose There’s no glory in ****** No matter what flag you use Who’s this foreign invader your protecting us from? The way I see it, is you’re the invader, son Let’s hold a concert Where the **** is Bruce Springsteen? Let’s have a parade Do people on the streets remind you of anything? Oh yeah, that thing called protest. How we talk about the things we detest. Unless it’s about the troops. Tie yellow ribbons instead. Aren’t you glad Osama’s dead?

IT’S ******* VETERANS DAY!
It’s ******* Veterans Day He said as my teeth turned into shrapnel on the street He had the right to remain violent I had the right to remain silent Men have died for your right to speak How dare you question the military? Dissent squashed with brute force Drone strikes on a straight course Bang Bang! Like the pixels on a Playstation His hands return ****** to the deployment station PTSD on the brain IUD as cremation It’s ******* Veterans Day Pay your respects I’ll collect your debts And turn them into fighter jets You say you support the troops Or do you really support Fox News Or MSNBC What ever you choose It’s information that you lose There’s no glory in ****** No matter what flag you use Who’s this foreign invader your protecting us from?
