For God and Country Lyrics

"Go to school, listen in and be good

And don't you worry what the bullies may do

One day you'll end up being their boss

For you, that's how the story goes

Now that you're done move abroad, get a degree

And make sure it's on something that pays the bills

Because we didn't sacrifice our lives

So you'll waste yours doing nothing worthwhile"

I guess they're right

I am lucky for this life of mine

I should thank everyone that's been by my side

I should fall on my knees, pray to a god that may not exist

Become a member of society

"Now get a job, get a car, get a wife

And, if you can get a house, that'd be nice

But remember that you're foreign on this land

So one mistake and they'll send you right back

Don't take for granted you've gotten this far

There's a thousand other people that should be where you are

For God and Country you have to get it right

So the may call you a 'good immigrant'"

I guess they're right

I am lucky for this life of mine

I should thank everyone that's been by my side

I should fall on my knees, pray to a god that does not exist

Become a member of society

(One, Two, Three, Go!)

But the truth is: that doesn't fly with me

If the system doesn't work, let's build our own communities

Where we can be whoever we want to be

And at night we can dance and get pissed

I might be wrong, and I might regret this when I'm old

But what's the point of living if you're not having fun

Let's get together, kill the gods, drink a beer and sing more songs

Or at least let's all have one more shot
