Lyrics
v1: I consider myself a patriot
I love the USA
So you better have a good reason
To put our soldiers in harm?s way
I know all about the terrorists
And taking the fight over there
But first and foremost in my mind
Is our American soldiers welfare
ch: Bring ?em home
Serving our country is a choice they make
Our country?s leaders made a big mistake
Ending this war is a chance we must take
There?s more than just their lives at stake
Bring ?em home
v2: I?m told this is about freedom
But they deserve their freedom to
Why should their lives be hell
When it?s not for me and you
America can help the world
In ways that truly save lives
Not by keeping our brave soldiers
From their children and their wives
chorus
br: If we lose thousands more
Just what are we fighting for ?
v3: Our leaders say we lost our pride
That morning in september
But pride goes before a fall
And that?s important to remember
When we try to avenge the crime
By creating a new war
Remeber vengeance is mine
Sayeth the Lord
chorus
