Combat Rock Lyrics - One Beat - 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, paragons of good? 

Is our guilt erased by the pain that we've 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 got the oil from 

Are you feeling alright now? 

Paint myself all red, white and blue 

Are you singing let's fight now? 

Innocent People die, uh oh 

There are reasons to unite 

Is this why we unite? 

If you hate this time 

Remember we are the time! 

Show you love your country, go out and spend some cash 

Red, white, blue hot pants doing it for Uncle Sam 

Flex our muscles show em we're stronger than the rest 

Raise your hands up baby, are you sure that we're the best?

We'll come out with our fists raised 

The good old boys are back on top again 

And if we let them lead us blindly 

The past becomes the future once again
