If you could see the women and children,
The people we've all laid to rest
If you could bomb a city the size of Chicago here,
Tell me where is your conscience now?

Destroy and rebuild; a campaign of contracts,
The shifting of power, deceit and lies
You call it the idea of promoting democracy
I call it a franchise

Are you the person they sent to save me?
Cause I don't want to be saved
Killing is easy when you don't see faces,
And you don't have to dig graves

Culture as given, the American ideal
That there's only one way to live your lives
There's no one there to help you when they start the bidding
You're packaged and sold to the allies

You broke down when you believed a single word
That self-motivated politician said
You broke down, and when it's all over
We're left with the mess

Are you the person they sent to save me?
Cause I don't want to be saved
Killing is easy when you don't see faces,
And you don't have to dig graves

You broke down and believed in this war
