LYRICS:
Well they'll be there in an instant with the stars and stripes unfurled glady going to the most dangerous places in the world
But today it seems our fighting folks are in danger once again You may have seen the headlines in the news or watching CNN
When we heard the wait times on our list were so long that patients died We said "This is government-run healthcare" "So we're gonna do what's right"
We're gonna grab a piece of paper and we'll make a second list We'll just say that wait times aren't that long and that no deadlines were missed and when people die we'll cross them off and pretend they don't exist cuz there ain't no doubt we can't be fired God bless the government
It ain't just about the soldiers you see we also sacrifice There are days you'll find us working until the crack of 4:45
But for all the soldiers out there who sick and need some help What can they do to get the government to care about their health?
They could grab a piece of paper and write down something like this and abandon your whole unit then they'll care when you get sick and if people die when they look for you we'll pretend they don't exist cuz there ain't no doubt we can't be fired God bless the government.
