Every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the war

And every morning it upstages all my favorite shows--Donahue, Hogan's Heroes



(chorus:)

It's the American way, the new world order

We hold these truths to be self-evident

In the American day, you must give and I shall take,

And I will tell you what is moral and what's just



Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I kill



Every morning I get up and I raise the flag,

Salute the monument of those who gave their lives

And I guess war's OK, it's just a little inconvenient, but it's better

Than a video game...it's better than the movies



(chorus)



Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I kill



And every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the war

And every morning it upstages everything I know...



(chorus)



Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I

Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I

Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I
