Red, White, and Blue
It wasn't meant
To be like this
A tender lie
A broken kiss
Plastic smiles
Lead the way
Flapping jaws
To ruin your day
Corporate henchmen
New endeavor
Golden meadows
Lost forever
Fleeting thoughts of
Peace once yours
It's time to stand
Defend our shores
The patriots heart
Bleeds tried and true
The color of blood
Red, white, and blue.
