Against Me! - National Myth lyrics

[Against Me! - National Myth lyrics]

All your glorious battles, what
Did they amount to, what did they prove?
All for your pride of country
All for your sacred democracy
Rival national myths
All for your rich ancestry of warmongers
You hailed as heroes
Don't believe in your jingoistic pride
That fuels your imperialistic genocide

When all I cry for is Anarchy
When all I plea for is to be free
Their slavery will never get the best of me
Their restrictions will never imprison me
Their poisons will never disable me
Love is the force that binds me

A better world will emerge out of the
Blood and carnage of the past
Considering tens of millions lost
Their lives in conflict


Is that too much to ask?
Wars of religion, nationalism
Made all the more devastating by
Advances in perverted science
Led the innocent to early deaths
Soldiers to shallow graves
How can you sleep at night?

When all I cry for is to be free
When all I plea for is Anarchy
Their slavery will never get the best of me
Their restrictions will never imprison me
Their poisons will never disable me
Love is the force that drives me
Hatred will never overtake me
