26 years old
And you haven’t seemed
To have learned a damn thing

Still whinin around
Still hate America first
As if your poor feeble mind
Couldn’t imagine anything

Worse

Chemical Ali is dead
Does that make you cry
Don’t you wish you could have
Been there to say goodbye

Sensitive soul you are
Do you admire the Fedayeen
Do you think if we’dve tried
We’d understand what they mean

When they torture people
With live electric wire
Tariq Aziz is an honest man
He couldn’t possibly be a liar

It’s all the same
It’s all the same
Scream out the morally
Equivolistically insane

Keats died at twenty six
What have you done
You never seem to tire
Of the games you run

How about thirty
Will you still be cool
Bein inbetween jobs
Tryin to go back to school

26 years old is the age
Of a Captain in the Marines
In charge of 200 men
Lean mean and a contribution

To the scene

Keep worshiping at the shrine
For the pompously inclined
And listening to Al jazeera
That’ll open your mind

It’s all the same
It’s all the same
Is it too late to start over
Is it too late to change

Choose your fate
Choose your mental dexterity
For rationalizing and justifying

Or achieving some clarity

You deserve the outcome
As do we all
When we look in the face
And have to recall

What we did
And what we believed
What was it we hid
And swore we were not decieved
