my country

Oct 07, 2001
was it just a dream?
were you so confused?
was it just a giant leap of logic?

was it the time of year that makes a state of fear?
methods were the motives for the action

and did i hear you say,
"my country right or wrong"?

did you save your face?
did you breach your faith?
women, there were children at the shelter

now who can stop the hail
when human senses fail

there was never any warning - no escape

and did i hear you say,
"my country right or wrong,
my country oh so strong,
my country's going wrong
my country right or wrong"?

i hear you say the truth must take a beating
the flag a camouflage for your deceiving
cuz i know - i know
it's written on your soul
i know - we all make mistakes

midnight oil - my country.mp3
