What did we do to
Iraq, Iraq? We did attack.

Now the whole world's hijacked.

What's that mean?

{slow tempo}

Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Let's talk about them.
We got more than anyone and we
also nuked Japan.
Agent Orange. Mustard Gas.
Anathrax and napalm.
Bunker buster and cluster bombs
and depleted uranium.
The more that we fund our
military might
the less the world we'll see us
as a shining light.
We also might find our own
soldiers wonderin' why
they're diein' in a war
mostly based on lies.

USA!
USA!
USA!.
USA!
So much potential and many good people.
Why can't we get one of them to rule
or rather lead the way to a brighter day?
Instead of one where our bombs are
blowin' 'em away.

What's that spell?
AWOL, AWOL. I'm splittin' the scene.
There's no friggin way I can be that mean.
AWOL, AWOL. I'm jumpin' the fence.
I can't fight war that don't make no sense.
