Dear Miss America, 

You know I'm doing this for you 

Hey Lady Liberty, 

I'm sacrificing all for you 

And through this tragedy, 

I know you'll see me through 



You never said the world was gonna tear me in two 

You never said my blood would be red, white and blue 

Is this why we pledge allegiance to you 



No, the red is for the blood 

No, the white is for the few 

No, blue are the tears of fools 



It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

To watch them cower as they die 



It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

To watch the world as it dies 

As they die 



You never said that this world was gonna tear us apart 

You never said that life would be this fuckin' hard 

You never said the world would have to bleed for you 



No, the red is for the blood 

No, the white is for the few 

No, blue are the tears of fools 



It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

To watch them cower as they die 



It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

To watch the world as it dies 

As they die 



You never said that this world was gonna tear us apart 

You never said that life would be this fuckin' hard 

You never said the world would WATCH US DIE. WATCH US DIE! 



It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

It's a common thing 

To watch us cower as WE DIE. DIE!
