How Long Lyrics

How Long lyrics

Forever lost in comparisons



Between you and the better man



Yea 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



Your go down in style







And you say that you're not to blame



Yea 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 t.v.



Yea you try to make points for God



God and country



You call this justice



I call this self-service







Solo







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
