American politicians have scarred our good name There are those too scared to see the terror threat hyperbole We're not all blood thirsty, ignorant, flag waving government sycophants See through the lies and corporate ties We sing and we want our change And ignoring the log in our eyes Sending thousands off to die Watch them lose their ass on page 23 Then they save their face on your TV Got to be the good American Got to be the good American Questioning what they are selling me Questioning what they are selling me Hell bent on nation building Governments run amuck In the name homeland security It's the world wide manifest destiny International bully with a disregard for sovereignty I see health care shutting down But Baghdad needs a mall downtown How can we, how can we, how can we? How can we find the speck in our brother's eye SongtexteWhen we are the ones going blind? Got to be the good American Got to be the good American Questioning what they are selling me Questioning what they are selling me Got to be the good American Got to be the good American Questioning what they have done to me What they have done to me How can we save anybody else when we can't save ourselves? How can we change anybody else when we failed to change ourselves? How can we give away what we don't already have anyway? Got to be the good American I don't want to be no president Got to be the good American I don't want to be no patriot. We can't waste We can't waste our feelings on If they will hate or love us We will overcome Aus Songtexte Mania
