I love my country like a little boy
Red, white, and blue
I love my country stupid and cruel
Red, white, and blue
All you have to do is sing in the choir
Kill yourself every once in a while
And sing in the choir
With me
All you have to do is sing in the choir
Set yourself on fire every once in a while
And sing in the choir
With me
With me
I love my country like a little child
Red, white, and blue
I love my country stupid and cruel
Red, white, and blue
All you have to do is sing in the choir
All you have to do is sing in the choir
All you have to do is sing in the choir
With me
With me
