lyrics

let's pull the flags down from their poles and bury them in the sand
their lengthy shadows over us make poisonous demands
won over by their offers, both shallow and profane
and ignorant, blind loyalty will bow beneath disdain

oh my God, they're bringing us down to our knees
taught to eat out of their hands under the threat of reprimand
tricked into thinking that all of our freedom stands
upon the evil doctrine of killing for a piece of land

and as all vanity that we once worshipped is undone
we're baffled that we once believed that freedom can be bought with guns
we've venerated murderers as keepers of the peace
the kingship of imperfect men perverted our beliefs

men make oaths to idols made of cloth, star strangled though they be
held captive by this plastic freedom for so long we forgot what it means
that a terrifying truth is the same truth that sets us free
deliver us from the tyranny of the patriot's idolatry
