When we moved mountains, you did nothing

by Independence Forever   Feb 20, 2007


America is a great nation, the big brother of the earth
she has protected many countries ever since her birth

but you just sat and complained while we did the job
now you expect a little greatness, so you decide to rob

when America beat the British twice, you were the Tories
but it does not end there, there are many other stories

when Lincoln fought to unite the nation, you said it could not be done
but when it happened you took your regal place under glory's blazing sun

when we fought with Spain over the rights of Cuban folk
you blasphemed McKinley, the war effort you did choke

when we went to war with Germany twice
you argued that we shouldn't pay the price

in Vietnam you said get out because we were baby killers
while the Vietcong strapped bombs on their kids, their war pillars

now you deface Iraqi freedom, like they don't deserve the right
but what happens when terrorists come here? the future won't be very bright

so do what you want, but the Glory is not yours
and don't blame us when your blood pours

    Are we really defending their people? we are not! i'm not saying you should forgive everyone, but we should NOT fight with everyone.

    I tend to agree with you, not that everything this country does is right but someone has to step up and defend the downtrodden

    Guessin your a patriotic american who supports every war your countries been in... no offence intended- honestly. But i do think you need to look at the justice being served through the wars, and the reasons behind them.
