lyrics

I was born unto a war that had no stop or end
A cowboy President, a disgusting nations closest friend
I learned that boys were sent to die before I dressed myself
I learned that bombs were dropped before I learned to speak and spell
I blossomed unto surveillance and computer drone killing machines
Soft spoken president, a disgusting nations “forgetting things”
Over 1,000 Iraqi civilians murdered within in an eight year term
I learned that murder was pride before I even knew the word

My friends all signed up, shipped to foreign shores on adrenaline
A booming arrogance that’s bolstered from youthful reddened grins
They never came home how they left
With brand new cars and pride for vengeance

I grew the will to die unto a violent democracy
A system set in place to only kill people who were just like me
Hungry, cold or fed and dressed
It didn’t matter in the end
I met your scapegoats at the supermarket and intersections
A talk show president told me to stalk and violate them
I watched the hunger in his eyes, I saw the fear inside
The people who just wanted to stay alive

My friends all asked me what it is that makes me hate this place
This failure, stain of history, brutal, spiteful untied states
I wanted the fear I saw the strangers feel to be felt for just a moment
By boring fucking presidents,
I bloomed in the absolute fucking hate

I want all 50 states to glow red
I’d love the planet to get what it needs
No more hunger, no more yearning, no more calling out for decency
I just want my friends to get some sleep
I want the country to collapse to be reborn again
To stray from sending boys and girls in ill fit clothes and weapons
To spread a pseudo democracy to a door that stayed locked before them
I want America to end
