Apologies never sounded insincere than when calling up a mother   Her bloody child on the battle field of war   While the pretty politicians lay their babies down to sleep   Not a chance in hell will that boy taste the blood      And the triumphant view of liberty stands firmly in New York   While the color of our ocean's painted red   Well president, I hope you found what you went over looking for   Or is your plan to send us all until we're dead?      Because one by one we will watch them die   In shallow graves our soldiers lay   Well NBC show us the blood on the country side   God bless, God bless the U.S.A.      If the document of freedom keeps us safely in our homes   Then it's fine to sacrifice our brothers blood   'Cuz it ain't my son that's fighting in the war across the seas   Give 'em hell boys point and shoot their time has come      Because father, son we will watch them die   Manifest destiny you paved the way   NBC show us the blood on the country side   God bless, God bless the U.S.A.      Line us up, give us guns we're trained to kill   The time has come, let this war drain all our brothers blood   Line us up, give us guns we're trained to kill   The time has come, let this war drain all our brothers blood      Because one by one we will watch them die   In shallow graves our soldiers lay   Well NBC show us the blood on the country side   God bless, God bless the U.S.A.
