Why I can't cry

When events of evil represent a type of "Banzai"

Why you breakthrough

Even though a wall and a thousand protesters against you

We send the perfect blend

Of young and hard and soft and those that want to defend



Hey friend...American...

Raise 'em up on texting and the games of war a floorplan

They know a TV show

Events in history have an unimportant cameo

We send the perfect blend

Of young and hard and soft and those that want to defend



We send our young men to fight

Then we bring them back home and

We treat them like dirt

In the streets instead of heroes

Perfect killing machine

Then a trooper finds a way home

To a hundred ways to be f**ked

In the neighborhood and daily



Hey friend...American...

Raise 'em up on texting and the games of war a floorplan

They know a TV show

Events in history have an unimportant cameo

We send the perfect blend

Of young and hard and soft and those that want to defend
