American Idols

Machine gun finger soldier's eye,
Fighting over rich man's lies,
Floating down a stream of blood,
All in the name of God,
Leave your home your family,
Don't you love your country,
Finding victory in the piles of dead,
They're the winners its been said.

They keep saying don't forget,
That won't pay a soldier's debt,
Will you remember all their names,
Does their blood run in your vain?

Whisper in a young man's ear,
You ain't got nothing to fear,
All except for fear itself,
That was said by Roosevelt,
March them all across the sea,
Start another colony,
Soon as they have hit the soil,
Start the fight for foreign oil.

They keep saying don't forget,
That won't pay a soldier's debt,
Will you remember all their names,
Does their blood run in your vain?

Shake your hand pick your pocket,
Shooting off another rocket,
Stay the course walk the line,
Send you home another time,
While your living day to day,
I'll keep up the American way,
Close my eyes just ignore,
Mission accomplished what war?

They keep saying don't forget,
That won't pay a soldier's debt,
Will you remember all their names,
Does their blood run in your vain?

They keep saying don't forget,
That won't pay a soldier's debt,
Will you remember all their names,
Does their blood run in your vain?
