Culture as Given

If you could see the women and children
 The people we've all laid to rest
 If you could bomb a city the size of Chicago here
 Tell me where is your conscience now?
 Destroy and rebuild, a campaign of contracts
 The shifting of power, deceit and lies
 You call it the ideal of promoting democracy
 I call it a franchise
 Are you the person they sent to save me?
 Cause I don't want to be saved
 Killing is easy when you don't see faces
 And you don't have to dig graves
 Culture as given, the American ideal
 But that's only one way to live your lives
 There's no one there to help you when they start the bidding
 You're packaged and sold to the allies
 You broke down
 When you believed a single word that self-motivated politician said
 You broke down
 And when it's all over we're left with the mess
 Are you the person they sent to save me?
 Cause I don't want to be saved
 Killing is easy when you don't see faces
 And you don't have to dig graves
 You broke down
 When you believed in this war
