Minutemen - The Cheerleaders lyrics

we'll talk some reason

we could look at the past

will the nation grow?

prosperity may last

can we look

at the problems ahead?

with our heads in the sand

we might as well be dead

cheer him on

the leader of the team

he'll push on through

at all cost to win

but are we free

to think for ourselves

or doomed

to repeat our mistakes?

when you hear them and call your name

can you count the lives they will take?

do you have to see the body bags

before you make a stand?

the cheerleaders

call our their names

on the sidelines

they can feel the players sweat

and i wonder

what it is they see?

all the rallies

will never set them free

can you hear them

call your name?

can you count the lives

they will take?

do you have to see the body bags

come off the plane

just a little bit

just a little bit

just a little bit too late

can you hear them

call your name?

can you count the lives

they will take?

do you have to see the body bags

before you make a stand?

can you hear them

just a little bit

just a little bit too late
