Bags On Their Heads Lyrics

I watched the blitzkrieg of Afghanistan

I watched the tanks roll through Kuwait

The bombs bursting in air

Over children and women - My God they must be scared!

The daylight reveals an American dome

The rubble and bones of your neighbor's home

Then we roll through with soldiers, tanks and guns

Like Russia in Czechoslovakia and Hitler in Poland

If it's good for them - it must be good for us

Would our children be safe there now - on a school bus?

When did America become a Patriot Act instead?

Liberty wears a bag on her head

Billboards claim our Marines are protecting us

What a lie! This totally disgusts!

If they are doing anything for me

Then come home all you soldiers - to your family

Bags on their heads - interrogate them

Come back home - you're a policeman

You've already killed - taken a life - murdered them in their beds

You're ready to protect our children - with bags on their heads

Trained to take orders - kill on command

Do you represent each American?

Every time you shoot to kill

Should Americans be getting a satisfying thrill?

As we play our video war games

Destroying our digital enemies

Learning the desire to kill

This American religion for bringing the world to its knees

Killing is the only way to win

One or a hundred is not a single sin

Whether you win or whether you lose

Guilt is not a feeling you will ever choose

There's a cop - pulled someone over

His partner's hand on his gun

In crossfire you'll be dead

Don't reach for your wallet too quickly

That cop won't miss - he's ready to shoot

Or put a bag on your head

If it's good for them - it must be good for us

Would our children be safe there now - on a school bus?

When did America become a Patriot Act instead?

Liberty wears a bag on her head
