I hear you speak but I can't believe the things you say
You praise the war machines
and then you ask us to pray for peace and for the deceased
Bow our heads and ask them for our freedom that they died for
And you speak of freedom like it's so honorable
to die for an ideology that prices life less than oil
So now it's an honor to die to spread Americanism through out the world?
To paint the street with liquor stores,
gun shops, Mc Donald's and Disney world
Well that boy died in vain
At the hands of a country that hates him
Under a religion that tricked him
Remember that on Memorial Day
That little boy at the parade watches the band march
by playing the American anthem
He waves his flag so proud
because that's what the system has taught him
One day he'll go to work over educated
and under paid by a corporation that hates him
That's what they fought for,
that's what they died for remember that on Memorial Day
