I don't want to wait till we realize the cost
Look at the damage and realize what we've lost
You shout peace from a home that belongs to someone else
You watch war on a land that belongs to someone else
What's a few more bombs to the Stars and Stripes
When the ones who aren't involved draw the lines
They think they have the slingshot
But really they're the giant
Those who think they're David we know them to be Goliath
I don't want to wait till we realize we were wrong
The canary was singing and singing but we didn't hear the song
How long can we keep pretending that war makes us strong
Yes how long can we keep pretending that war makes us strong
What's a few more bombs to the Stars and Stripes
When the ones who aren't involved draw the lines
They think they have the slingshot
But really they're the giant
Those who think they're David we know them to be Goliath
Salt and burn your Holy Land
Rip down the olive trees branch by branch
And tear at them root by root
Shouldn't they mean something to you
Can't afford to live but I
Can afford to kill
No I
Can't afford to live but I
Can afford to kill
Can't afford to live but I
Can afford to kill
No I
Can't afford to live but I
Can afford to kill
Well you,
Salt and burn your Holy Land
Rip down the olive trees branch by branch
And tear at them root by root
Shouldn't they mean something to you
Shouldn't they mean something to you
Shouldn't they mean something to you
