Good Riddance - Year Of The Rat Lyrics

A fool's crusade, a proxy war.
We justify, we keep the score.
With millions dead, too blind to see
The cryptic clash of World War III.

Did your country's sons and daughters
Die to make this world a safer place,
Or do we just defy?

Flesh and blood become one.
The stakes keep rising, the time has come.
The band performs a martyr's verse
And the dominoes fall in reverse.

Did your country's sons and daughters
Die to make this world a safer place,
Or do we just defy?

The lines are drawn, don't you see?
It's too late to turn back now.
We won't abide a stalemate.
The end is predicated on the loss of life.

What's so sinister?
We're only trying to do what we think is right.
Conscience administered
By the ones with the shortest sight.
