Paragraph Lyric
My father told me "Son, it's futile to resist. You can topple the ideology butnot the armies they enlist." I questioned the intentions of the boy scoutsshouting "WAR!!" "Well that's the sound of freedom, son." he said (free to say no more)...But wait a minute, "dad", did you actually say freedom? Well, if you're dumbenough to vote, you're fucking dumb enough to believe him. Because is thiscountry is so goddamn free, then I can burn your fuking flag wher ever I damnwell please.I carried their anthem, convinced it was mine. Rhymeless, unreasoned conject-urw kept me in line. But then I stood back and wondered what the fuck they haddone to me. Made accomplice to all that I'd promised I would never be. You carry their anthem, convinced that it's yours. Initiation to honour.Invitation to war.Bette Midler now assumes sainthood. Romaticize murder for morale. Tie a yellowribbon 'round the old oak tree and, "Gee, Wally, that's swell!"FUCK THE TROOPS
