Down where the dullards rule; How do you keep a match lit in this hole?
Up where the idiots lead; Scattering seeds.
Well, we all had to stand for the Pledge. When bones were thrown we all fetched.
But still, we were burning inside. How did I get out
And we read here we are free; Sang "this land was made for you and me."
Watched as the president swore; Called for war.
We all tied yellow ribbons 'round necks. And we all had to stand for the
Pledge.
So smothered by national pride. How did I get out
Back when the idiots ruled, I was a time bomb brought into school.
It was there that we learned up from down; upside-down.
It was there that we stood for the pledge. Where the living were raised by
the dead.
Led to slaughter, kept inside the lines. So how did I get out
By some rebel angel was I blessed? Or by some devil's minion led?
One by one, we all choked on the lies. How did I get out alive?
Hey, but I ain't no saint sent down to save
You.
If you struggle and fight, you just may get out,
Too.
Hey, but I ain't no saint sent down to save
You.
If you struggle and fight, you just may get out too
Keep Fighting!
