lyrics

Hey, if you watch Fox News you might as well turn this shit off right now
'cause I'm having a hard time understanding how you people aren't deeply concerned about the state of our affairs. And by "our" I'm talking about the land of the supposedly free, home of the brave. I've been noticing lately that we have no idea how many people have been killed by OUR bombs in this "war on terror". Yeah, war on terror... how terrifying do you suppose it is to have a bomb dropped on your family?
Forgive me world, I'm just trying to understand
How we solve your problems dropping bombs on your head
Excuse us world, we're just following God's plan
Saving the world just one war at a time.

How many kids were killed in the World Trade Center?
How many kids have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Why don't you know, and how is this not wrong?
And I'm having a hard time understanding why it's wrong to kill babies in Oklahoma City but somehow it's just collateral damage when those babies have brown skin and live in the desert...
Forgive me world, I'm just trying to understand
How we solve your problems dropping bombs on your head
Excuse us world, we're just following God's plan
Saving the world just one war at a time.

Meanwhile back home we'll put Johnny away for 15 years for tripping the light fantastic while his kid brother is a zombie on prescription rittalin, mom's on Prozak, and dad's having martini lunches and pills to get a hard on, grow his hair, drop 20 pounds... yeah, war on drugs indeed. Most people seem to agree that it's madness, that our <giggle giggle> leaders won't vote this way for fear of retribution... so it has to make you wonder, who exactly are the assholes? Is it the guys with no guts in the bizarely vain profession fucking us up, or is it us as a people? Because yeah, we're for freedom, like freedom of religion, as long as your god is the Lord Jesus Christ and not some heathonistic idol that, ya know, the rest of the world worships.
Forgive me world, I'm just trying to understand
How we solve your problems dropping bombs on your head
Excuse us world, we're just following God's plan
Saving the world just one war at a time.
