about

The original demo written for The Strangers in 2004. See previous track for additional notes.

lyrics

I want to feel the heartbeat of a nation
That rides a wave of blind elation
Bumper stickers and shirts
Drown out the red alerts
You've got nothing to fear

So wave your flag in the air
Take what you're given and eat it
Speak your mind if you dare
Here come the plastic patriots

So eat your freedom fries
Aren't they delicious?
Simply close your eyes
And imagine your perfect wonderland
You're living inside a delusion

So spout some dumb cliche
That should shut them up
Say God is on your side
And that should be enough
Forget the lies and corruption
Just follow your instructions
Everything's perfect, everything's great

So wave your flag in the air
Take what you're given and eat it
Speak your mind if you dare
Here come the plastic patriots

Hail to the chief
Everything's going to be fine
The powers of deception
Reaching perfection
Draw a line in the sand
No one's gonna cross you
God bless America

Plastic patriots on the way
You've got nowhere to run
They're gonna show you -
They're gonna teach you a lesson

So wave your flag in the air
Take what you're given and eat it
Speak your mind if you dare
Here come the plastic patriots

Plastic patriots
