Blue Rodeo - God and Country lyrics
[Blue Rodeo - God and Country lyrics]
Forever lost in comparisons
Between you and the better man
Yeah, you're always so quick to take a bow
I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy
And your postcard sincerity
Don't you ever get tired of being yourself
It's getting so hard to find you
As you fade into your world of reprisal
As you slip into the comfort of your denial
Your patriotic smile you go down in style
And you say that you're not to blame
Yeah, you're proud of what you did
And you'd do it again
All in the name of God and country
But that's too bad about the little snag
'Cause getting caught is such a drag
Even in the name of God and country
Still you're all the same to me
You're just trying to make
Points on national tv
Yea you try to make points for God
God and country you call this justice
I call this self-service
And I hope that I never find
What you call good conscience
Or peace of mind
As another man dies for God and country
'Cause, I'm sure while you're
Sitting there talking
Well the bombs are falling all in the name
All in the name
All in the name of God and country
Between you and the better man
Yeah, you're always so quick to take a bow
I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy
And your postcard sincerity
Don't you ever get tired of being yourself
It's getting so hard to find you
As you fade into your world of reprisal
As you slip into the comfort of your denial
Your patriotic smile you go down in style
And you say that you're not to blame
Yeah, you're proud of what you did
And you'd do it again
All in the name of God and country
But that's too bad about the little snag
'Cause getting caught is such a drag
Even in the name of God and country
Still you're all the same to me
You're just trying to make
Points on national tv
Yea you try to make points for God
God and country you call this justice
I call this self-service
And I hope that I never find
What you call good conscience
Or peace of mind
As another man dies for God and country
'Cause, I'm sure while you're
Sitting there talking
Well the bombs are falling all in the name
All in the name
All in the name of God and country
