A Decade Old Protest Song
Everything you see can be quantified
So there's nothing that you'll never see again
Time will disprove everything you know
So there's nothing worth holding on to
At eleven years old I knew the president was strong
And the strong thing is the right thing to do
We all recall the good ol' days with fondness
As kids make sense of geopolitics
On a clunky television in the basement
I saw the right thing fall from the sky
Broadcast in nightvision and in low resolution
All you said was "there they go"
At eleven years old I was a patriot
Cuz a patriot's the right thing to be
We all recall the good ol' days with fondness
As kids make sense of geopolitics
Basement TV says "mission accomplished"
"Everyone will all come home"
"War is over, war is done, we're victorious"
"It'll never, ever happen again"
But it happened again
At eleven years old I knew the president was strong
But I'm not sure that the strong thing was right
At eleven years old I knew I was a patriot
But I'm not sure that being a patriot is right
At eleven years old I knew the Patriot Act was right
And now the government knows that I don't
At eleven years old I knew America was right
But now I know that's false most of the time
How can we recall the good ol' days with fondness
We were just kids making sense of geopolitics
So there's nothing that you'll never see again
Time will disprove everything you know
So there's nothing worth holding on to
At eleven years old I knew the president was strong
And the strong thing is the right thing to do
We all recall the good ol' days with fondness
As kids make sense of geopolitics
On a clunky television in the basement
I saw the right thing fall from the sky
Broadcast in nightvision and in low resolution
All you said was "there they go"
At eleven years old I was a patriot
Cuz a patriot's the right thing to be
We all recall the good ol' days with fondness
As kids make sense of geopolitics
Basement TV says "mission accomplished"
"Everyone will all come home"
"War is over, war is done, we're victorious"
"It'll never, ever happen again"
But it happened again
At eleven years old I knew the president was strong
But I'm not sure that the strong thing was right
At eleven years old I knew I was a patriot
But I'm not sure that being a patriot is right
At eleven years old I knew the Patriot Act was right
And now the government knows that I don't
At eleven years old I knew America was right
But now I know that's false most of the time
How can we recall the good ol' days with fondness
We were just kids making sense of geopolitics
