Patriot

We had one job elect some candidates into the offices

Well, I guess it's true we didn't get a whole lot in the way of choices

But don't pretend you flipped a coin, you did decide that it was you or me

And the people that I love, scrape their bodies off into the sea

This burning house is still me home, I guess there's hotter places to be 'free'

But if you're at war with your neighbors, then you're not a patriot

Well, I'll repeat, you fight for your rights to kill but you do not care what happens to me

You only care about the embryonic or illiterate locally

And talk a good game on Sunday and they pat you on the back for a fee

Star spangled banner in the back yard but a different flag above the TV

Some brittle links in the chain, you got dissenters in the family
