I'll tell you what we're gonna do
We're gonna paint the deserts red white and fucking blue
See through the cable news veneer
While a country insane with fear
Goosesteps down the Appian Way
We're all gonna rue the day

It won't be long
'Til we're all dead and gone
I got a feeling something's wrong
It won't be long
'Til we're all dead and gone
The world's seeing stars and stripes
And smart bombs

I'll tell you how it's gonna be
We'll die like drowning rats just swallowed by the sea
Freedom's on the ides of marching
Onward Christian soldiers of fortunes
Reversing tides of red herrings
Hollow, how long can we go?

It won't be long
'Til we're all dead and gone
I got a feeling something's wrong
It won't be long
'Til we're all dead and gone
The world's seeing stars and stripes
And smart bombs

See through the cable news veneer
While a country insane with fear
Goosesteps down the Appian Way
We're all gonna rue the day

It won't be long
'Til we're all dead and gone
We're singing everyone's swan song

It won't be long
'Til we're all dead and gone
I got a feeling something's wrong
It won't be long
'Til we're all dead and gone
The world's seeing stars and stripes
And smart bombs
