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? 

With freedom and democracy and SUV's called Liberty 

for every boy and girl? 

The oyster chokes on it's 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 strat 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 

We forgot what we were fighting for
