You never need your American
You never take what you say seriously
You're on the bay
You're on the late of things
You've got it made
And when you wake
It's all in there
You never said you'd do anything
You made excuses for your mind
Objected core the collective
Don't you dare forget it
Don't you forget it
Don't you forget
Don't do it
In the age of the military
You are engaged with such fanfare activity
Let them do things as they please
In our grace you now can afford
If you were red, you'd be spoken for
Your color blue it's great
In the arms of the one you love
You feel safe, your feel so above
The hunger of the streets
With your safe and your document
In its place your money, your gun
Your conscience sweet like honey
You forbid yourself to things
See where you are as you begin to sink
In your mirror, in your mirror
In your mirror, in your face
In your mirror, in your face
Paroliers : Chan Marshall
