Sleater Kinney - Combat Rock Lyrics
They tell us there are only two sides to be onIf you are on our side you're right, if not you're wrongBut are we innocent, pargons of good?Is our guilt erased by the pain that we've endured?Hey look it's time to pledge allegianceI love my dirty Uncle SamOur country's marching to the beat nowAnd we must learn to step in timeWhere is the questioning? Where is the protest song?Since when is skepticism un-American?Dissent's not treason but they talk like it's the sameThose who disagree are afraid to show their faceLet's break out our old machines nowIt sure is good to see them run againOh gentlemen start your enginesAnd we know where we got the oil fromAre you feeling alright now?Paint myself all red,white and blueAre you singing let's fight now?Innocent People die, uh ohThere are reasons to uniteIs this why we unite?If you hate this timeRemember we are the time!Show you love your country, go out and spend some cashRed, white, blue hot pants doing it for Uncle SamFlex our muscles show em we're stronger than the restRaise your hands up baby, are you sure that we're the best?We'll come out with our fists raisedThe good old boys are back on top againAnd if we let them lead us blindlyThe past becomes the future once again
