And you know? Thank god we pulled through
Thank god theres some people, who under stand the concept of "me and
you"
We cracked the codes, and shot their rockets down
Broke the enemy lines, and aimed for their frowns
Flight of the bomb holders, and we dropped them with smiles
Aimed for his rusty black crown, took the dictator down, with by accident
style
And thank god we learned of his plans
Wed be walkin straight lines, and pulling stiff arm salutes
We'd be flying to school in long wings, and jumping with no parachutes
That’s no way to live
That's no way to live
Under the dark rule, of a gut red vision
He injected his vains with stingy pain, and he was on a mission
We have the tall grass, and we'll chop our own damn logs
Don't feed us into your machine, those blood covered cogs
Mindless German stutter, we wouldn’t understand
Barking orders, all across our land
That’s no way to live
That's no way to live
Now I know what it musta been like
To lose what is truly yours, to someone with mindless power
The followers he corrupted with visions of golden rivers
How he told them of fortune following, and home pumping towers
And I wanna thank the boys I never knew
Because we're free now, and we owe it all to you
The boys all the lonely mommies wanted to bring back home
But until then, theyd be happy with a distant voice on the military phone
But they stayed, and they emptied their clips
And gave arms all together, so you could
So you could take full gas road trips, and so you could
Smile at bright red white and blue sun rays
So you could, live to see another day
They looked through their brown blood bandages, and tattered
Uniforms, to fight for the green grass, and clear empty pools back home
God I wish I was there
God how they fought for the joys
God Damn I wish I knew those fighters, those boys
