By extremists with eyes on my heart

So I lie to everyone

I've gotten away with it too

Then who can be for us my friends

American before they were named

They're a huddling mass

Like an American flag umbrella

It keeps the elements out

We affix all their scars to our walls

So if it's not OK then it's not the end oh my friends
所以如果还未好起来，那就还未结束，我的朋友
There's hope for everyone
