Sleater-Kinney - Combat Rock lyrics
Your rating:
They tell us there are only two sides to be on If you are on our side you're right, if not you're wrong But are we innocent, pargons of good? Is our guilt erased by the pain that we've endured? Hey look it's time to pledge allegiance I love my dirty Uncle Sam Our country's marching to the beat now And we must learn to step in time Where is the questioning? Where is the protest song? Since when is skepticism un-American? Dissent's not treason but they talk like it's the same Those who disagree are afraid to show their face Let's break out our old machines now It sure is good to see them run again Oh gentlemen start your engines And we know where we got the oil from Are you feeling alright now? Paint myself all red,white and blue Are you singing let's fight now? Innocent People die, uh oh There are reasons to unite Is this why we unite? If you hate this time Remember we are the time! Show you love your country, go out and spend some cash Red, white, blue hot pants doing it for Uncle Sam Flex our muscles show em we're stronger than the rest Raise your hands up baby, are you sure that we're the best? We'll come out with our fists raised The good old boys are back on top again And if we let them lead us blindly The past becomes the future once again
