Good Americans

American politicians
 Have scarred our good name
 There are those too scared to see
 The terror threat hyperbole
 We're not all blood thirsty (ignorant)
 Flag waving government sycophants
 See through the lies, in corporate ties
 We singing, we want a change
 And ignoring the Log in our eye
 Sending thousands off to die
 Watch them lose their ass (on page 23)
 Then they save their face on your TV
 (On your TV) on TV, yeah!
 Got to be the good American
 Got to be the good American
 Questioning – what they are selling me?
 Questioning – what they are selling me?
 Go, go, go!
 Go, go, go!
 Go, go, go
 Go!
 Hell bent on Nation building
 Governments run amuck
 In the name homeland security
 It's the worldwide manifest destiny
 International bully
 With a disregard for sovereignty
 I see health care shutting down, but
 Baghdad needs a mall downtown
 How can we?
 How can we?
 How can we?
 Well, how can we find the speck in our brothers eye
 When we're the ones going blind?
 Going blind
 Going blind, oh
 Got to be the good American
 Got to be the good American
 Questioning – what they are selling me?
 Questioning – what they are selling me?
 Got to be the good American
 Got to be the good American
 Questioning – what they have done to me?
 What they have done to me?
 How can we save anybody else
 When we can't save ourselves?
 And how can we change anybody else
 When we fail to change ourselves?
 And how can we give away
 What we don't already have, anyway?
 Go, go, go!
 Go, go, go!
 Go, go, go
 Go!
 I got to be the good American (hey, hey, hey, hey)
 I don't want to be no president (hey, hey, hey, hey)
 Got to be the good American (hey, hey, hey, hey)
 I don't want to be no patriot (hey, hey, hey, hey)
 Now we can't waste
 We can't waste our feelings on
 If they will hate or love us
 We will overcome
