Good Riddance - Decoy слова песни
well i thought we`d arrived at a tract in our history
where we`d fought every endeavor we could fight
yet i shuddered with grim preconception
as the cannonade erupted into light
and my ocular gaze lay dehiscent
it seemed that i could not look away
and every god fearing son was a patriot
and victory remained elusive
just one bomb away
oh yeah one bomb away
and they say that customs will reconcile people
to any atrocity - (George Bernard Shaw)
from dachau to belfast to baghdad
from sea to shining sea
and they say that when fascism crosses our borders
it`ll be wrapped up in a shroud
glowing red, white, and blue
and our rectors they say will explain it away
as the ravings of a passionate few
well i happened to visit a slaughterhouse
where cessation`s redolence rose to the sky
and propitious creatures await a most virulent fate
which their pacific demeanor belies
it was a place i don`t care to return to
whose chambers compassion would not recognize
where slaughter is sanctification
and humanity covers it`s eyes
covers it`s eyes
my country `tis of thee
sweet land of liberty
of thee i sing of thee i sing
i don`t want to be a patriot
if being a patriot means being like you
