[Verse 1]
If I could understand it
I wouldn't get this way
Standing empty-handed
In the reign, of your blasphemy
I have worn these questions
Enough to wear them out
Torn by your afflictions
I would kill for the taste in my mouth

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Of the freedom, of the glory, of the wishes
That you promised me
Contradiction nailed my tongue to the floor

[Chorus]
Oh say can you see them?
By the dawning deadly light
What so proudly your deceiving
In this fight for you
Blood, White, and Blue

[Verse 2]
There's sunlight in your coffee
There's sugar in your crime, you'll see
Not in your jurisdiction, I will say whatever the fuck I please
So all us greedy bitches
And all you hopeless men
We've never lived in cages so put the piece back together again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Back to the freedom, back to the glory, back to the wishes
That we still deserve
But contradiction made the virgin a whore

[Chorus]
Oh say can you see them?
By the dawning deadly light
What so proudly your deceiving
In this fight for you
Blood, White, and Blue
Hey, yea, yea
Hey, yea, yea

[Bridge]
Oh say can you see them?
Oh say can you see them?

[Chorus]
Oh say can you see them?
By the dawning deadly light
What so proudly your deceiving
In this fight for you
In this fight for you
In this fight for you
Blood, White and Blue
