America needs to be the good guys we thought we were
We shouldn't need to torture, propagandize or have much collateral damage. We should know better than to steal those people's oil.

1. We used to think, we'll show the world that it can be done right.
We were proud of that.

Now, we're showing them how we can do it wrong. :(

2. We know, you and I, but money knows no bounds
And as soon as we are in the majority again there will be no more of it.

3. We should not only not need to torture, but to go to war? Madness!
Dimson and co. messed up our country. I hope it can be saved.

5. Good Guys? The american credo is "Get the fuck out of the way
because I'm getting mine while the getting is good". The Iraq war is only the most glaring example at the moment.
