Homeland Security
I am a patriot
and I love my country
and I believe freedom is worth fighting for
but I keep hearing
about homeland security
It's a long way from home that you're waging this war
why the deception and misinformation
what is this treacherous game that you play
you keep sending our children to that desert forsaken
You won't let common sense stand in your way
There's no room for partisanship in this matter
this sword will cut both the left and the right
You put a little too much on your platter
but the roaches will scatter when we turn on the light
Where is the glory and honor and premise
all I see is the hungry industrial
with her bombs and her missiles and too often you miss
for each foe that you kill you create ten more
Why the deception and misinformation
what is this treacherous game that you play
foolishly tempting the worlds damnation
with your sword made of iron and your feet made of clay
