ALL AMERICAN WAR

There's only one reason that you need to fight
And it's not for your honour or pride
It's cuz your busy making bucks for the corporates
Bombing craters three miles wide
Salute the bloodied flag of the stars and stripes
For your prophecy is heaven sent
So let the bombs rain down from the blackened skies
For Jesus and the president

All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American war
All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American, all American, all American... WAR!

You can walk on water you can part the waves
Clutching ribbons for those who've died
But harken to the days of the negro slaves
And try to tell me you believe in pride
In your schools you are fed to be easily led
Descendants of the chosen few
But if we're all spooks, commies, wops and gooks
Will you tell me what the fuck are you?

All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American war
All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American, all American, all American... WAR!

You're not fucking fighting for a holy war
You're fighting for your system's life
Cuz if they can't sell their tanks and bombs
Capitalism will not survive
The whole things floats on guns and notes
And concentrating on keeping you poor
So stand in line and cast your votes
Cannon fodder for American war

All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American war
All American war - flags are not bulletproof!
All American, all American, all American... WAR!
All American, all American, all American
All American, all American, all American
All American... WAR!
