Righteous killing in the name of freedom
We′ve been down that sorry road before
They let us hang around a little longer than they should've
It′s too late to fool us anymore
We've seen the ones who kill the ones with vision
Cold-blooded murder right before your eyes
Today they hold the power and the money and the guns
It's getting hard to listen to their lies
And I just gotta wonder what my daddy would′ve done
If he′d seen the way they turned his dream around
I gotta go by what he told me
Try to tell the truth and stand your ground
Don't let the bastards get you down
Bombing Baghdad back into the Stone Age
Round the clock, non-stop for forty days
Killed them in their homes and on their highways
Now after a decade of crippling sanctions
We′re talking about going back in there and doing it all over again
Fighting terrorism
I just gotta wonder what my daddy would've done
If he′d seen the way they turned his dream around
I gotta go by what he told me
Try to tell the truth and stand your ground
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don′t let the bastards get you down
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't let the bastards get you down
