In God We Trust

from Lebe Wohl In Tejas by mice and rifles

lyrics

Fire and threats scream through the air and everybody wants their peace and care
Forget the slaughter, the open war; this is a battle for so much more
Now one by one we’ll march on and we will conquer every wall
And the borders we’ll cross to impress the laws we lust
In God we trust

This nation fought its wars with sons and blood to spill
But now the daughters are growing up and they’re picking up arms as well
We are the new tragic Romans and everyone here will become a soldier
And one by one we’ll march on with a hand placed over our hearts
In God we trust

So democracy did not build Iraq but U.S. dollars kept filling the gap
I’d rather have seen this democracy rebuilding our New Orleans
Now I will never blame the right and I no longer trust the left
I’ll just watch another mother cry with her hand placed over her heart
In God We Trust
