The New National Anthem - Strata
Written by:Ryan Hernan
O say
Can you see
By the dawn's early light
We get 'em young
Give 'em guns and ship 'em off to fight
While the rocket's red glare
Is keeping everyone scared they say just relax
Put your trust in me and
You can sit back and watch the war on your screen
The country's run by lunatics they're picking up their pens
Writing themselves into revelation
This is how it's gonna end
Well I tried hard to bite my tongue
Like a good American
But they recruited my little brother
And they're shipping off my friends
Broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
You know those who stand to gain are not the ones who
Sacrifice
Watching bombs burst in air
From a comfortable chair
They just say in God we trust
And God trusts in greed
Yeah as long as they never show real blood
On T V
I'm not sorry if this makes you mad
In fact I hope this wakes you up
'Cause you'll never see what's going on with your eyes so tightly
Shut
There are too many unanswered questions
From the towers in New York
To the lies leading up to another corporate sponsored war
Well I'll support the troops by asking what they're really fighting for
And I think that's more patriotic
Than flying a flag from my front
Porch
Come on
Let's go out and start a fight
'Cause you know two wrongs always make a right
Come on
Let's go out and start a fight
'Cause you know two wrongs never make a right
Come on
Let's go out and start a fight
'Cause you know two wrongs always make a right
Come on
Let's go out and start a fight
'Cause you know two wrongs
Never make a right
