Do you?
Do you
 hear he cries from far a way
 or
 do you pretend they're not there?
 
 The red white and blue
 run proudly
 through your veins during mid day.
 
 The flag on your chest
 says everything
 which needs to be said.
 She looks back at you,
 with grace on your chest,
 and there she stays.
 She holds the amazing red, white and blue.
 She is the one to blame
 cause at night,
 The colors fade
 and demons run rampant.
 Your head their cell
 finally freed,
 cause they know what you did.
 
 The gun you held
 no longer a separate part,
 instead an extension
 of your arm.
 
 Every night
 you hear the same thing,
 a chorus of grown men
 sobbing and waiting to die.
 They're all broken inside.
 The unspoken rule
 already broken,
 the killing machines
 are dying inside.
 
 Do you think this
 this is the American dream
 or
 has the proud flag
 turned you into
 a massacre of the weak?
