If you could see the women and children The people we've all laid to rest If you could bomb a city the size of Chicago here Tell me where is your conscience now? Destroy and rebuild, a campaign of contracts The shifting of power, deceit and lies You call it the ideal of promoting democracy I call it a franchise Are you the person they sent to save me? Cause I don't want to be saved Killing is easy when you don't see faces And you don't have to dig graves Culture as given, the American ideal But that's only one way to live your lives There's no one there to help you when they start the bidding You're packaged and sold to the allies You broke down When you believed a single word that self-motivated politician said You broke down And when it's all over we're left with the mess Are you the person they sent to save me? Cause I don't want to be saved Killing is easy when you don't see faces And you don't have to dig graves You broke down When you believed in this war
