If I could understand it
I wouldn’t get this way
I’m standing empty handed
In the rain of your blasphemy
I have worn these questions
Enough to wear them out
Torn by your afflictions
I would kill for the taste in my mouth
Of the freedom
Of the glory
Of the wishes
That you promised me
Contradiction nailed my tongue to the floor

Oh say can you see them
By the dawning deadly light
What so proudly you’re deceiving
In this fight for you
Blood white and blue

There’s sunlight in your coffee
There’s sugar in your crime you see
But in your jurisdiction
I will say whatever the [bad word] I please
So all these greedy [bad word] And all you hopeless men
We’ve never lived in cages
So put the piece back together again
Back to the freedom
To the glory
Back to the wishes
That we still deserve
The contradiction made the virgin a [bad word] 
Oh say can you see them
By the dawning deadly light
What so proudly you’re deceiving
In this fight for you
Blood white and blue

Oh say can you see them
Oh say can you see them

Oh say can you see them
By the dawning deadly light
What so proudly you’re deceiving
In this fight for you
In this fight for you
In this fight for you
Blood white and blue
