Lyrics
War
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the war
And every morning it upstages all my favorite shows
"Donahue," "Hogan's Heroes."
It's the American way, the new world order
We hold these truths to be self-evident
In the American day, you must give and I shall take
And I will tell you what is moral and what's just
Because I want, because I will, because I can
So will I kill
Every morning I get up and I raise the flag
Salute the monument of those who gave their lives
And I guess war's ok, it's just a little inconvenient
But it's better than a video-game, it's better than the movies
It's the American way, the new world order
We hold these truths to be self-evident
In the American day, you must give and I shall take
And I will tell you what is moral and what's just
Because I want, because I will, because I can
So will I kill
Every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the war, watch the war
And every morning it upstages everything I know
It's the American way, the new world order
We hold these truths to be self-evident
In the American day, you must give and I shall take
And I will tell you what is moral and what's just
Because I want, because I will, because I can
So will I
Because I want, because I will, because I can
So will I, (Oh, say can you see)
Because I want, because I will, because I can
So will I
