Dear hallowed nation We come in peace You are the remnants Of a country fleeced Shorn of your freedom Without a say Civil division Social decay Victims of power You play along Your finest hour's Twenty minutes long Lower the standards To half their mast Let's toast the future With a shotgun blast Masses arise, war is nigh We are legion Bombers in the sky rain fire From above Tourists in tanks, join the ranks Of resistance Clemency denied in the land That I love Dear huddled masses Why do you cry? The cost of freedom Seems much too high The ink is fading The future dims Your nursery rhymes Are now battle hymns
