Like a chicken running without its head, Our countrys debt is to its dead Under a sky so cold and gray, The youth of our country died before their day Not more than kids they stood for the flag, The government sent them home in bags Those young Americans will never see their homes, Now they sleep under gardens of stone Chorus They died fighting a country that wasnt a threat Now this is our national debt Commies in the east, money in the west put another bullet in a soldiers chest Who pays for the lines in his fathers face, Not the politicians who breached their faith The men who fight for our nation, Shouldnt be sent to war by a corporation Democracy means one man one vote, Money has turned our government into a joke Chorus So when its time to start another pointless war, The first ones drafted are the poor With no money to buy a political voice, Theyre sent to die without a choice Im an American, proud and free Im an American I believe in equality Dont tell me what to do or what to be, Im an American, Dont tread on me Chorus Whos gonna pay off the debt?
