about

This song is our first really political song. I like it a lot, I didn't realize how easy it is to write about the government!

lyrics

There are people starving in other countries, yet we beg for more.
We're greedier than I thought we were - pigs at the slaughter.
And America bleeds red, white, and blue - while our allies just bleed red.
We won't help them, we don't have the courage.
Quit making excuses for our lazy politicians that make our lives even harder than they already are.
We can't figure why we keep seeing pictures of broken glass and tiny villages plagued by war.

Because America kind of sucks, but we think we are the shit... Come on!
We're kind of bullies that are in other people's business.
Can we forget about the things that we did to other countries when they're gone?

I have a feeling that nothing I say makes any difference, 'cause I don't have the money to promote it.
I'm just not cut out for a corporate mindset.
I'm too passionate.
I hate making other people feel like they're worthless by throwing my money at things, like a stupid fuckin' circus.
If anyone's a monkey, it's that asshole Rick Santorum.
Stuck in his own thick skull - two thousand million meters from the surface.

Because America kind of sucks, but we think we are the shit... Come on!
We're kind of bullies that are in other people's business.
Can we forget about the things that we did to other countries when they're gone?
