Is our country any more than a whore
In a world at war
Our own lives become prostituted
As our trust in our leaders becomes uprooted
Government officials get rich
As unknowing soldiers die in a ditch
When lover's of their country are sent
All they receive is detriment
The war is right, the war is bold
Is seemingly all we're told
They say it has reason
When, in reality it should be treason
We're told lies to fight
Leading to indefinite plight
This cycle of wars won't last much longer
When we have lost all and are defeated by stronger
No government apologies will be uttered
Only sweet lies and resentment will leave our minds cluttered
But there is a way we can break free
Awaken our minds and let everyone be
Don't trust those that regard us as trash
Their intentions are evil, as they want us to crash
They treat us as nothing but tax cattle
We need to break free of this brash and battle
Our own leaders consider us cretin
But if we stand together, we can never be beaten
We are the silent majority
And we deserve respect and authority
I love my country, for I am a nationalist
But not due to my government, for I am a rationalist
