Like a chicken running without its head Our country's debt is to its dead

Under a sky so cold and gray The youth of our country died before their day

Not more than kids they stood for the flag The government sent them home in bags

Those young Americans will never see their homes Now they sleep under gardens of stone

Chorus

They died fighting a country that wasn't a threat Now this is our national debt

Commies in the east money in the west put another bullet in a soldier's chest

Who pays for the lines in his father's face Not the politicians who breached their faith

The men who fight for our nation Shouldn't be sent to war by a corporation

Democracy means one man one vote Money has turned our government into a joke

Chorus

So when its time to start another pointless war The first ones drafted are the poor

With no money to buy a political voice They're sent to die without a choice

I'm an American proud and free

I'm an American I believe in equality

Don't tell me what to do or what to be I'm an American Don't tread on me

Chorus

Who's gonna pay off the debt
