Die for the Government Songtext
von Anti‐Flag

You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit

There's a Gulf War vet
Dying a slow, cold death
And the government says
"We don′t know the source of his sickness"
But don′t believe what they say
Because your government is lying
They've done it before
And don′t you know they'll do it again

A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troops"

You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit


First World War veterans slaughtered
By General Eisenhower
You give 'em your life
They give ya a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange
Tested on US souls
Guinea pigs for Western corporations

I never have, I never will
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You′re getting used, you′ll end up dead

You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that′s shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that′s shit

I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don′t need you to tell me what to be (fuck you!)
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think
What to think
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think

Die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that′s shit
You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit


You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit

You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that′s shit

You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit

You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You′ve gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that′s shit
