Rise Against

[Intro]
"What are you talking about? America is not going to be destroyed."
"Never?
Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed
All great countries are destroyed, why not yours?
How much longer do you think your own country will last?
Forever?"
[Verse 1]
Block the entrances, close the doors
Seal the exits because this is war
All gave some, some gave all
But for what? I want to know
[Hook]
Carry on, don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight, bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?
[Verse 2]
A folded flag, a purple heart
A family all but torn a part
I fought with courage to preserve
Not my way of life, but yours
