One In The Same

Millions of planes cover up our sky

Their machine guns point towards us, by why?

Young children look with gazing stares

As a huge bomb drops out of the air

For us down here, no place to run or hide

But into the explosion we all get lost inside

People screaming, makes the worst of sounds

With the bomb the heavens seem to come crashing down

And our souls they are now meaningless

Lost our lives to a weapon made of selfishness

God bless America and for all it stands

The president speaks to his people with blood on his hands

We were once beautiful beings but you killed us all

Couldn't accept our ways so you made us fall

I think God and America are one in the same

Both justifying bloodshed in eachothers names

Why do they deserve a capitalized name
