Blood-Red, White, And Blue

Rise Against · Revolutions Per Minute [2003]

so come test me,

so come break me,

so come on intoxicate me

with hands tied behind my back,I fight

and wait for you to strike



a new problem

we can't stop them,

we're outnumbered and uncautioned,

a rally cry rings out into the night



so pride yourself on what you are,

hold them all to words they can't take back,

I've seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams

where fires die

but light

shines for us to see



what did you have to say?

give me your logic, your definition,

the words you twist to justify your position of mass starvation

and blind airstrikes,

every problem is solved with a fight



peace won't be found, til we're underground,

as long as we live without a sound



so pride yourself on what you are,

hold them all to words they can't take back,

I've seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams

where fires die

but light

shines for us to see



would God bless a murder of the innocents?

would God bless a war based on pride?

would God bless a money-hungry government? no



would God bless our ineffective court system?

God bless the sweatshops we run.

God bless America.

God bless America.
