"Since 1965"

Been listening to their shit since 1965
from a crew of motherfuckers who aren't even alive
Their hearts are in a bankbook
Their souls are in deep freeze
I ask what the hell do you want from me
They say that's easy ... get on your knees.

I ask what happened to a country
which once led the world to peace
but is now just violent wreckage
of things which were meant to be.
They have nothing but their profits,
that's their only measure of success.
They will take what they want from Earth
and, well, just fuck the rest.

Lord, will there ever be mercy
from these creatures you have sent
He said they're not mine, I don't own them
They follow not what I commanded them to do
They treat the Bible like a menu at McDonald's
and keep only the parts for screwing you.

Since 1965
All my life
War
War
What is it good for
And they still don't know
even after fifty years
America didn't just kill its soldiers
America also killed the people who sent them

The patriots buy their aircraft carriers
and blame the cost on the minimum wage
They will never give up any weapon
but they will always attack your pay
If you can use this thing for killing
then that's what they want to do
Sure they're defending something 
but it has nothing to do with you
