Ready For A War

There's a difference of opinion what's self evident and true
We the people are no longer doing what you tell us to
How are men created equal if you're playing with a crown
While I'm pledging my allegiance to a flag that's upside down

I wonder when this ignorance will cease
While nothing here is greater than before
You better not be talking about peace
As long as you get penny for a war

Say what happened to the dreams born in the early light of dawn?
Will you free them as a punchline 'till we lock up and its gone
You like talking about rockets and bombs bursting in the air
But the one thing we're pursuing you dismiss without a care

I wonder when this ignorance will cease
While nothing here is greater than before
You better not be talking about peace
As long as you get ready for a war

What is left to save of the home of
the brave when the promise has expired?
I'm trying to see the land of the
free but my eyes they are weary and tired!

I wonder when this ignorance will cease
While nothing here is greater than before
You better not be talking about peace
As long as you get penny for a war

I wonder when this ignorance will cease
While nothing here is greater than before
You better not be talking about peace
As long as you get ready for a war
