As If
Patriot's Dilemma: Unveiling the True Cost of Allegiance
Lyrics
I serve my country
I am serving my country
And do so with pride
Performing this duty with pride
I look up and see you there
I look up and notice your presence
And I know you lied
I realize that you have lied
As if we've lost control
It feels like we've lost control
As if we've sold our souls
It seems as if we've compromised our principles
I joined the service
I enlisted in the service with the intention of doing what is right
To do the right thing
The media attention is intense, quoting you, our leader
The media circus is here
A media circus is present
To quote you, our king
Quoting statements attributed to you, our king
As if we've lost control
Similar to before, it feels like we've lost control
As if we've sold our souls
Again, it seems as if we've compromised our values
I heard you talking
I hear you exercising your right to free speech
Your right to free speech
You express your opinions boldly
You shot your mouth off again
You make controversial statements, leading to attempts at impeachment
They tried to impeach
Efforts are made to impeach you
As if we've lost control
Once again, it feels like we've lost control
As if we've sold our souls
Once again, it seems as if we've compromised our principles
Wednesday morning
Referring to events on a Wednesday morning
And something you'd said
You said something significant
We fight like hell with boldness
We fight with determination and courage
Now there are four dead
Unfortunately, the outcome is four casualties
As if we've lost control
Once again, it feels like we've lost control
As if we've sold our souls
Once again, it seems as if we've compromised our values
It's six months later
Referring to events six months later
Three colleagues have died
Three colleagues have lost their lives
They took their own lives, couldn't cope
They took their own lives, unable to cope with the lies
With all of your lies
Alluding to your falsehoods causing distress
As if you lost control
Once again, it feels like you've lost control
As if we sold our souls
Once again, it seems as if we've compromised our principles
As if I sold my soul
Indicating personal guilt or responsibility for compromising values
