Testo: Kmfdm. WWIII. Stars & Stripes.

A tyrant is a man who allows his people no freedom
Who is puffed up by pride, driven by the lust of power
Impelled by greed, provoked by thirst for a fame

Divided and conquered, gripped by fear
Wishful thinking that it can't happen here
It's well under ways but nobody knows
A repeat of history, that's how it goes

Tell the people that they're under attack
By man-eating foes from Mars or Iraq
Mobilize outrage, muzzle dissent
Send in the troops, strike to pre-empt

Stars and stripes learn how to fight
We come together by the dawn of the light
(Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare)
Stars and stripes

Control the airwaves, fuel the reaction
Use every weapon of mass-distraction
Turn active people into passive consumers
Feed 'em bogues polls and harebrained rumors

Cut back civil rights, make no mistake
Tell 'em homeland security is now at stake
Whip up a frenzy, keep 'em suspended
Don't let 'em know that their liberty's ended

Stars and stripes learn how to fight
We come together by the dawn of the light
(Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare)
Stars and stripes

Stars and stripes learn how to fight
We come together by the dawn of the light
(Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare)
Stars and stripes

Everything goes in the desperate states
The veneer of democracy rapidly fades
Wreak total havoc on all opposition
In any event fulfill your mission

Totalitarian, media sensation
You will give 'em domination
Never mind they call you liar and thief
By now you're undisputed commander-in-chief

Stars and stripes learn how to fight
We come together by the dawn of the light
(Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare)
By now you're undisputed commander-in-chief

Stars and stripes learn how to fight
We come together by the dawn of the light
(Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare)
Stars and stripes

Stars and stripes learn how to fight, stars and stripes
(Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare)
Stars and stripes
(As the rockets red glare, as the rockets red glare)
Learn how to fight
