Safer than a serpent till we got a load of
The company you're keeping around for us to take care of
We decorate the picket fence with mercy where I'm from
And fools like you can't mess with mom and get away
I still pray the TV is lyingIt won't take too long when you're short of time
To point out some good left about mankind
You can learn to love what you can destroy
That's what I call sacrificing what you've got for freedomCaptain do you copy? Right under the radar?
Valor, faith and treason chivalry that you make sin
Guess business will be business
We all know boys will be boys
One day I don't want to teach
My children to ignore the noiseCan't we find a shred of hope to dress this fear up?
Will we let the banner of humanity fall?
That's not what I call sacrificing
What you've got for freedom
Give up what you've got for freedom
