Peace and prosperity
To all those who serve
The flag and its purpose
We do not withhold
The information that we are told,
We rifle it back to the soldiers
In bold uniforms, uniformly
Marching for gold.
They hold up their heroism
Principles on pedestals,
They are not invincible
But they come close to bulletproof,
They are not gonna wince at pain
But they'll endure the lion's rage.
Do they deserve the suffering?
Does anyone like buffering
A nation of fresh tire skids,
An accident in happening,
A head-on crash, practically
Deployed the airbags in advance
A new take on a foreign stance,
Soldiers' eyes locked in a trance
Fire away, follow commands.
They hold up their heroism
Principles on pedestals,
They are not invincible
But they come close to bulletproof,
They are not gonna wince at pain
But they'll endure the lion's rage.
Liberty and justice held above and beyond all,
Liberty and justice happily after all,
Liberty and justice, ephemeral, forestalled,
Fighting for a cause that we lost
The day we won,
A war is never over
Until a new one has begun.
They hold up their heroism

They are not invincible
But they come close to bulletproof,
They are not gonna wince at pain

Black paint on magazines
The barrels will never be cleaned
The gunsmoke leaves the air distinct
The oxygen not left pristine
Is this what we must breathe in?
