Good Riddance - Decoy Lyrics
well i thought we'd arrived at a tract in our historywhere we'd fought every endeavor we could fightyet i shuddered with grim preconceptionas the cannonade erupted into lightand my ocular gaze lay dehiscentit seemed that i could not look awayand every god fearing son was a patriotand victory remained elusivejust one bomb awayoh yeah one bomb awayand they say that customs will reconcile peopleto any atrocity - (George Bernard Shaw)from dachau to belfast to baghdadfrom sea to shining seaand they say that when fascism crosses our bordersit'll be wrapped up in a shroudglowing red, white, and blueand our rectors they say will explain it awayas the ravings of a passionate fewwell i happened to visit a slaughterhousewhere cessation's redolence rose to the skyand propitious creatures await a most virulent fatewhich their pacific demeanor beliesit was a place i don't care to return towhose chambers compassion would not recognizewhere slaughter is sanctificationand humanity covers it's eyescovers it's eyesmy country 'tis of theesweet land of libertyof thee i sing of thee i singi don't want to be a patriotif being a patriot means being like you
