Lyrics

    I pushed the button and elected him to office
    He pushed the button and he dropped the bomb
    You pushed the button and could watch in on the television
    Those motherfuckers didn't last too long
    
    I'm sick of hearing about the have and have-nots
    Have some personal accountabilty
    The biggest problem with the way that we are doin' things is
    The more we let you have the less that I'll be keepin for me
    
    Well I used to stand for somthing
    Well I'm on my hands and knees
    Turning in the God of this war
    And he signs his name with a Capital G
    
    Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
    Don't really see what all the fuss is about
    Ain't gonna worry about no future generations
    And I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out
    
    Don't try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
    You hadn't had enough to know what its like
    You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position
    Now nod your head 'cause you know that I'm right... alright!
    
    Well I used to stand for something
    But forgot what that could be
    There's a lot of me inside you
    Maybe you're afraid to see
    Well I used to stand for something
    Well I'm on my hands and knees
    Turning in the God of this war
    And he signs his name with a Capital G
