[VERSE 1] Patriot saint on a plastic throne Red white blue in a hollow tone They chant freedom but you pay to breathe They preach honor while your pockets bleed Credit is collar debt is the leash Grin for approval call it peace [PRE HOOK] You pledge to the flag trained not to stray A thousand points of light but none show the way [HOOK] Sing for the warhead praise the parade Wave that fading flag till the colors decay Sing for the warhead praise the parade Wave that fading flag till the colors decay [BRIDGE] Wake up or stay down Ask why or just drown You call it choice but they chose for you You only salute what they told you to
