Rise Against - Blood-Red, White, and Blue

Track 7 from Revolutions per Minute

Lyrics:

so come test me
so come and break me
so come on intoxicate me
with hands tied behind my back
I fight and wait for you to strike
a new problem we can't stop them
we're outnumbered and un-cautioned
a rally cry ring out into the night

so pride yourself on what you are
and hold them all to words they can't take back
I've seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams
where fires die but light still shines for us to see

what did you have to say?
give me your logic, your definition
the words you twist to justify your position
of mass starvation and blind air strikes
every problem is solved with a fight
peace won't be found 'til we're underground
as long as we live without a sound

so pride yourself on what you are
and hold them all to words they can't take back
I've seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams
where fires die but light still shines for us to see

would God bless a murder of the innocents?
would God bless a war based on pride?
would God bless a money-hungry government?
no

would God bless our ineffective court system?
God bless the sweatshops we run.
God bless America
God bless America

People, I think there's an easy to settle the multiple religious arguments going here. This is the "the land of the free..." A.K.A. this is a country where people have the freedom to express whatever they choose to. Not a country where people are ready to start an internet war because somebody's beliefs differ from their own. Do I believe in God? Yes, I do and I'm proud to have the freedom to proclaim so!

[DarkconspiracyPS3]

the best album by rise against.

@bling552 did you just say osama died for a good cause? he hid behind religion, women and children on the run from the military cuz he knew he was bad. EVERYONE is glad he's dead, even the people in iraq

[TheMarcinian]

Amerykanie -.-

[ChimeraSynth]

@MrEgofreak I am athiest and strongly support this statement.

[bling552]

@CDceilingcat i am an american, and when it comes to strengh the us milatry is very good but when i saw many videos of soldiers that come from america to iraq and kill people and steal oil just makes me sick, infact i feel sorry for iraq cuase not only america steals oil but it also says that theyr helping iraq and that all arabs are terrorists wich is very retarded, and some muslims sacrificed themself to help iraq (osama binladin) and america lies and says hes a terrorist, its evil vs good

[CDceilingcat]

@bling552 There is no way in hell you are American and speak English that way. If you are you are a disgrace to this country. I for one don't agree with all the things this country does, but for you to proclaim the US military is "shit" is an uneducated statement. Please do some research on the US military then get back to me. In a private message, I don't want to argue on a Video on youtube. If you have a problem with me calling you out message me privately so we can discuss this.

@MrEgofreak well said, bro. im agnostic, but it is amazing we are allowed to express our religious beliefs openly, fearing only trolls.

[MrEgofreak]

@blazingfuryoffire1 Maybe. You're welcome to copy it if you like. :)

[blazingfuryoffire1]

@MrEgofreak The world is overthrowing many leaders, so it might. who knows what the world will do next unless you try

[MrEgofreak]

@blazingfuryoffire1 Excellent suggestion dude. I doubt it will work though. Even though it is a good message, eventually people'll say "Geez stop spamming trolls" or other crap like that. And, like another user who replied to me said, we live in North America and have freedom of speech, but not everybody has that luxury.

@MrEgofreak maybe we should spread the this comment on the web to help a movement grow, showing the power the internet has when we work together.
