God's Army

You made your bed/ Now lie in it/ You waged your war/ Now die in it/ Line up the troops/ Swallow the pill/ No bitter time/ Than now to kill/ You heal the world/ With guns and bombs/ Then have us sing/ Your righteous songs/ Policies of hypocrisy/ you can't force feed democracy/ Pledge allegiance to the flag/ And put us in bodybags/ Won't you take us to see your god now/ Before you count to seven/ We're gonna go to heaven/ Won't you take us to see your god now/ You plant the seeds/ That nurture hate/ Zealots and scum/ At heaven's gate/ You live to die/ A thousand deaths/ They die to live/ On movie sets/ You bit the hand/ That feeds you pain/ With cowardice/ And hijacked planes/ You want your name/ In history's book/ But write the book/ In history's blood/ Pledge allegiance to the flag/ And put us in bodybags/ Won't you take us to see your god now/ Before you count to seven/ We're gonna go to heaven/ Wo'nt you take us to see your god now/ Something to be pursued/ Never to be attained/ Beautiful ideas die like a dream/ And God divides us all/ Just like geography/ So we can die long-distance deaths
