Verse i
All along the avenues the soldiers make their way
While lovers reap the revenue of a cold September day
Kiss me darling kiss me like we'll never kiss again
And love me won't you love me like it's our greatest revenge
No one knows how much it means the funded wars write magazines
Battle fronts and beauty queens making love in the headlines
I feel for all the progeny how will they know what freedom means
When it's forged to every cause and claim on the fear assembly lines
Chorus
Oh the American machine
Oh the American machine
Verse ii
What happened to our chivalry now pork is fed to the fattest beast
And the women and the babies are starving on the ship
And the waters comin' in so fast it's hard to know how long it will last
When you take in all that you give back or you'll drown under the debt
Chorus
Oh the American greed
Oh the American greed it's not me
I'm gonna give what I can
Come, come feed the promise that's inside of me
With a little love, we'll raise a brand new army up
Of the surest doves with hearts that gleam like golden guns with
Nothing in their arsenal but love
I'd give it all I'd give it all for a legacy of love
