The Patriot

By defrage

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Just call me a fucking patriot, Cause the people in my country Are worth more than yours - A racist by any other name. Just call me a fucking patriot, Cause i'll sing the national anthem And believe the lies i'm fed - A fool by any other name. Just call me a fucking patriot, Cause i'll wear my flag with pride Even if it's bloodstained from genocide - A criminal by any other name. Just call me a fucking patriot, Cause i'll follow my government No matter who they screw - A sheep by any other name. Just call me a fucking patriot, Cause i'll bomb any nation In the name of my freedom - A terrorist by any other name.Lyrics to a punk song? I may yet change some of it so suggestions are welcome.
