Imperialism
When I grow up I'll be big and strong
Working for the country that can do no wrong
When I grow up I'll be just like you
Fighting for the cause that we cling onto, Hey
When I grow up I will kill for peace
Contradict me, turn the other cheek
I'll bring democracy to everyone
And if they protest, look who's got the guns
We'll fight for freedom
Take what's theirs
We'll wait until they're
Unprepared
I'm Team America, the world police
From Vietnam to the Middle East
Inveigle my way into your soul
Until you forfeit your control, Hey
I'll show you the flaws within your god
O'er broken dreams my boots will trod
We're your salvation, you know what to do
Give it up for the red, white, and blue
We will make them
Hear our say
Imperialism
The American way
"To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men
Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends
It is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it
And to institute new Government
Laying its foundation on such principles
And organizing its powers in such form
As to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness."
But we won't bore you with that clause
Who would ever want to alter or abolish this?
We've loved you from the moment we met
Loved you enough to save you from yourselves
We are the one true empire
And we really, truly love you
And you love us
Go!
Give it up now
Give it up now
Give it up
For the red, White, And blue
Working for the country that can do no wrong
When I grow up I'll be just like you
Fighting for the cause that we cling onto, Hey
When I grow up I will kill for peace
Contradict me, turn the other cheek
I'll bring democracy to everyone
And if they protest, look who's got the guns
We'll fight for freedom
Take what's theirs
We'll wait until they're
Unprepared
I'm Team America, the world police
From Vietnam to the Middle East
Inveigle my way into your soul
Until you forfeit your control, Hey
I'll show you the flaws within your god
O'er broken dreams my boots will trod
We're your salvation, you know what to do
Give it up for the red, white, and blue
We will make them
