Combat Rock Sleater-Kinney

They tell us there are only two sides to be on
If you are on our side, you’re right, if not you’re wrong
But are we innocent, the paragons of good?
Is our guilt erased by the pain that we’ve endured, endured?

Hey, look, it's time to pledge allegiance
I love my dirty Uncle Sam
Our country's marching to the beat now
And we must learn to step in time

Where is the questioning? Where is the protest song?
Since when is skepticism un-American?
Dissent’s not treason, but they talk like it’s the same
Those who disagree are afraid to show their face, their face

Let's break out our old machines now
It sure is good to see them run again
Oh, gentlemen, start your engines
And we know where we get the oil from

Are you feeling all right now?
(Is this why we unite?)
Paint myself red, white, blue
(There are reasons to unite)
Are you singing let's fight now?
(If you hate this time)
Innocent people die, uh oh
(Remember, we are the time)
