'You've Got To Die For Your Government' - Anti-Flag



you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government,

die for your country that's shit

you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit



there's a gulf war vet

dyin' a slow, cold, death

and the government says, 

we don't know the source of his sickness

but don't believe what they say

because the government is lyin'

they've done it before, and don't you know they'll do it again

a secret test, government built virus

subject test group: gulf battle field troops



you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit

you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit



first war Veterans slaughtered

by General Eisenhower

you give 'em your life

they give you a stab in the back

radiation, agent orange

tested on U.S. souls

guinea pigs for western corporations

I never have, I never will

pledge allegience to the flag 

you're getting used, you'll end up dead



you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit

you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country thats shit



I don't need you to tell me what to do,

and I don't need you to tell me what to be, fuck you!

I don't need you to tell me what to say

and I don't need you to tell me what to think

what to think, what to think 

what to think, think, think, think



die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit

you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit



you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit

you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit



you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit

you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit



you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit

you gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government, 

die for your country that's shit...
