we'll talk some reason
we could look at the past
will the nation grow? 
prosperity may last
can we look 
at the problems ahead? 
with our heads in the sand
we might as well be dead
cheer him on
the leader of the team
he'll push on through 
at all cost to win
but are we free 
to think for ourselves 
or doomed 
to repeat our mistakes? 
when you hear them and call your name
can you count the lives they will take? 
do you have to see the body bags 
before you make a stand? 
the cheerleaders 
call our their names
on the sidelines
they can feel the players sweat
and i wonder 
what it is they see? 
all the rallies 
will never set them free
can you hear them
call your name?
can you count the lives
they will take?
do you have to see the body [bad word] off the plane
just a little bit
just a little bit
just a little bit too late
can you hear them
call your name?
can you count the lives
they will take?
do you have to see the body bags
before you make a stand?
can you hear them
just a little bit
just a little bit too late
