do you remember the american war?   it wasn't that long ago, it was fought on every shore   are you trying to tell me that you didn't know?   i saw you reading the paper at the corner store   yes i know, that's a joke      did you ever think you lived inside the belly of the beast?   are you giving it something nice to eat?   or are you waiting for your very own special treat?   we like to live on easy street      do you remember all the people we bombed?   all the homes that were there that are now gone   well, whoever told you that life was fair?   people have to die over there      did you ever think this was the greatest country in the world?   the freedom and democracy and SUVs called liberty for every boy and girl   the oyster chokes on its own pearl      we know you can't help where you're born   it's not that you're foreign   it's what you stand for   we know it's hard to start reform   the revolution's born   but no one claims it   (winning ticket)      do you remember the american war?   we thought it was fun   but it was a bore   do you remember the american war?   we forgot what we were fighting for
