Send them off, with a gun. To fight, to kill, to represent the pride in the Nation. I'm a boy, and you're a man; 'cuz you can kill without a qualm, in the name of Uncle Sam. We'll win the war, 'cuz we're the best. The free, the brave, America is better than the rest(?) -Let it burst, let it break; let's tear a foreign country down for the good of our own state.
Lay down your life, you're sacrifice. Surrender or prepare to die, you'd best take my advice. I find that I'm desensitized; the distance that a trigger puts between my hand and a- Human heart. The source of life is blown to bits. (and here I stand, the culprit) The name of war has justified a tragedy (that just becomes another vague statistic)
A common heart beats in my chest, not above or below the rest. The right to be alive is a privilege of the human race. The banner of our nation flies; a symbol of our hope and pride, (our) lives in (death) are glorified; we rise above the horror.
You'll never have a quiet world until you decimate, the patriotic ideology we procreate. I have no country to fight for (my country is the earth) -my allegiance lies with the living, not my place of birth.
