Johnny Got His Shotty
God Give me rest
 From this world I live in.
 I don't wanna be ignorant 
 but these news headlines
 are driving me insane.
 
 Flags waving and slogans spouting
 some bull**** about liberty. 
 Home of the Free.
 Countless have died
 are we free-er
 Than Canada or Australia?
 No, sir, I can't tell.
 Screw your Liberty Bell.
 
 Somebody said, "Lets fight for liberty!"
 But what is liberty?
 Just another abstract word
 Like freedom. 
 
 Tell me what is liberty?
 Tell me just what were fighting for
 This world full of war
 Wasn't what I bargained for.
 
 Oh, but these men are heroes
 protecting our nation,
 Death before Dishonor.
 Sounds wonderfully noble.
 
 But what would the dead say?
 Did they die thinking 
 of liberty, justice, freedom for all?
 No. They died with screams and sobs
 Fighting a fight that wasn't theirs.
