Lyrics

This nation needs a vacation From the presentation of your hesitation You cannot stop your disassociation From the unethical beautification of your campaign negotiation You cannot stop With world wide domination Well it's not that easy to obtain without cessation Of the complete dehumanization Of what we stand for Tell him people Don't walk away boy We've got something to say boy Our country's not a toy Don't walk away You don't get to turn your back and pretend That all you start won't be the end You were told to love honor protect and defend You've torn our hearts Our flag it cannot mend Other country's trust was ours on lend When will they ever believe us again? And whose money do you think you spend? Stop pushing, stop pushing, stop pushing Stop pushing, stop pushing us to the end Yeah, tell him people One wonders what will be your complete undoing Is it that you don't remember what it is or for whom you are working? We were considered the free world, where are we going? Freedoms a gift, a treasure, a decency, not a coin You can spend on graft, deceit and not repeat annoying Phrases to brainwash unassuming children going From channel to channel watching people dying Buoying their spirits with convenient captures of coy Reticent terrorists Fallen villains in front of millions of sad patriots who need more Oh please tell him patriots We want leadership with dignity and reverence for life Memories provide possibility for more than death and strife Roosevelt, Kennedy and King loved us too when unrest was rife They were brave and true and wrote it with their life Give us something real, a dream not just for you A future without shame grief and despair Wonder, love, brotherhood, education and care America I love you, I treasure you and I am sorry for our mistakes I want a leader Who stands for our values, thoughts, mountains, skies, ozone and lakes I'm unafraid to tell him Yes walk away boy Cause we have something to say Our country is not a toy It's time to walk away boy Put your head down and walk Walk on m walk
