Salute!

let me go
down in the books as a fearless leader.
helping all.
the glitz and the glamour
amidst all the clamour
burning a family while mothers cry 'why me?'
bathing in desert oil
escaping this mortal coil
oh, god bless america, god bless america.

burning the white flag
goosestep to slaughter..
(ad-libbing)

we salute you.
(ad-libbing)

but, so what?
where have all the people gone?
oh, you will never see them.
they've done their country proud today.
but what about the families? that cry and wonder what for?
pray for america. prey from america.

are we gonna sit and wait for the end?
(are we going to stand by, and happily pretend?)
that the way this is going is a means to an end?
(are we going to stand by, and happily pretend?)

we salute you!
while we kill you.
we salute you!
while we kill you.
