Текст песни Culture As Given (Smoke or Fire) с переводом

If you could see the women and children

The people we’ve all laid to rest

If you could bomb a city the size of Chicago here

Tell me where is your conscience now?

Destroy and rebuild, a campaign of contracts

The shifting of power, deceit and lies

You call it the ideal of promoting democracy

I call it a franchise

Are you the person they sent to save me?

'Cause I don’t want to be saved

Killing is easy when you don’t see faces

And you don’t have to dig graves

Culture as given, the American ideal

But that’s only one way to live your lives

There’s no one there to help you when they start the bidding

You’re packaged and sold to the allies

You broke down

When you believed a single word that self-motivated politician said

You broke down

And when it’s all over we’re left with the mess

Are you the person they sent to save me?

'Cause I don’t want to be saved

Killing is easy when you don’t see faces

And you don’t have to dig graves

You broke down

When you believed in this war
