I watched the news today and I didn't like what I saw
Death and destruction; crime and war
I read the newspaper today and I didn't like what I read
Corruption and insanity; famine and hell

What has this nation come to
Streets of rage
What has this world come to
Countries of hate

Where did all the peace go
murder and war
Where did the safety go
Theft and rape

Is there an end
World War III
Will it end
God only knows

<-Previous | Light of Darkness | Next ->

Men of thousands fighting for their homeland
on foreign territory
killing men they will never know
because Uncle Sam says

Soldiers getting shot
by their enemies
also by their own allies
because Uncle Sam says

Men dying for freedom
leaving their families
with only a memory
because Uncle Sam says

Soldier baby's crying
because daddy got shot
on the line of duty
because Uncle Sam says

Thousands dead
by the end of the day
all for our freedom
because Uncle Sam says
