Apologies never sounded insincerer
Than when calling up a mother
Her bloody child on the battle field of war
While the pretty politicians
Lay their babies down to sleep
Not a chance in hell
Will that boy taste the blood

And the triumphant view of liberty
Stands firmly in New York
While the color of our oceans's painted red
Well president I hope you found
What you went over looking for
Or is your plan to send us all
Until we're dead?

Because one by one we will watch them die
In shallow graves our soldiers lay
Well NBC show us the blood on the country side
God bless, god bless the USA

If the document of freedom
Keeps us safely in our homes
Then its fine to sacrifice our brothers blood
'Cause it ain't my son that's fighting in the war
Across the seas
Give 'em hell boys point and shoot
Their time has come

Because father son we will watch them die
Manifest destiny you paved the way
NBC show us the blood on the country side
And god bless, god bless the USA

Line us up
Give us guns
We're trained to kill
The time has come
Let this war drain all our brothers blood

Pick up one by one we will watch them die
In shallow graves our soldiers lay
Well NBC show us the blood on the country side
And god bless, please god bless
Lord, god bless, oh please god bless the USA...
