So good to cheer for the home team

I fly my flag and I watch the news

We fight for right – that’s what it seems

The screaming crowds block other views

 

With intentions honourable, mistakes are often made

We’re always sorry

 

Collateral damage is a price to pay

We think it’s worth it just to save the day

We only kill when it will save lives

 

We’re not the good guys

We never were

 

The other is my enemey

We’re always on the winning side

The cheerleaders on my TV

Explain the other has to die

 

More murdered civilians – mistakes are often made

We’re always sorry

 

But murder ain’t murder if you have a rank

And if it helps put money in the bank

We only kill when it will save lives

 

We’re not the good guys

We never were

 

It’s hard to believe what I say

But believe me it’s harder to believe the lies

Historical record displays empirical fact that we’re not the good guys

 

We’re not the good guys

We never were
