lyrics

You ought to die,
and the reasons why:
One thousand starving nations from U.S. intervention,
and your pathetic lies.

When I was 16 years older,
Your greed woke me up and your mind made me sober.
You hide behind religion,
but your morality is based on money and division.

You ought to die,
and the reasons why:
One thousand starving nations from U.S. intervention,
and your pathetic lies.

You are the governing power...
Your ethics get weaker as you grow stronger by the hour.
You are so fucked and greedy,
you make your money by exploiting and/or killing off the needy.
One thousand starving nations yield to your destruction,
and we don't know cause you have media control.
We are a mindless mass, can't think for ourselves
but when we do, your heads are gonna roll.

You ought to die,
and the reasons why:
One thousand starving nations from U.S. intervention,
and your pathetic lies.

When I was 14 years made,
the lies I believed about this country's foreign aid;
I was an ignorant youth,
but it didn't take long for me to figure out the truth.

& You ought to die,
and the reasons why:
One thousand starving nations from U.S. intervention,
and your pathetic lies.

18 years and 8 months in October,
I often try to numb myself but you still keep me sober.
You build an army base, your foreign aids a roust,
you say you're sending food, as it rots in a warehouse,
One thousand starving nations yield to your destruction,
and we don't know cause you have media control.
We are a mindless mass, can't think for ourselves
but when we do, your heads are gonna roll.

You ought to die,
and the reasons why:
One thousand starving nations from U.S. intervention,
and your pathetic lies.
and your pathetic iies x2
and your pathetic x3
lies
