You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit! (x2)
There's a gulf war vet, dying a slow cold death
And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness."
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again
A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troups"
You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit! (x2)
First World War Veterans slaughtered by General Eisnehower
You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange, tested on U.S. souls
Guinea pigs for Western corporations
I never have, I never will
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used, you'll end up dead
You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit! (x2)
I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be...FUCK YOU!!!!
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think!
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think!
You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit! (x9)
Die for your country? That's shit! (x2)
There's a gulf war vet, dying a slow cold death
And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness."
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again
A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troups"
You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit! (x2)
First World War Veterans slaughtered by General Eisnehower
You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange, tested on U.S. souls
Guinea pigs for Western corporations
I never have, I never will
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used, you'll end up dead
You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit! (x2)
I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be...FUCK YOU!!!!
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think!
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think!
You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit! (x9)

1) Not everybody can just 'move' like that.
2) Where should we go where the situation isn't the same?
3) If we leave USA... will the problems resolve? No, millions will still die at it's government's account. THAT is what (imo) punk is protesting against.
4) Calling Anti-Flag dumb and telling others to move in 1 post? Come again mate. Anti-Flag is actually smart enough to have anticipated people yelling "If you don't like America, move". There's a song by them especially for you! Just look for the lyrics to "Right on".
And one last point; I wonder who ever came up with the sentence "Punk is dead". Think of it clearly for a second... ASIDE from not being able to define 'punk'... why is it dead? There's plenty of bands out there who people at least define as punk... In fact, I reckon punk is more listened to then say old-school jazz... Wouldn't that make old-school jazz death too?
Whatever people say, the fact remains that people have died and are dying on large scales to keep the American government (and therefore Americans, of which a large number are completly ignorant and do not even know why they vote for Bush) up and running. I recall that one post saying something about "What's so wrong about a war for oil?". Well, nothing, if you don't mind poorer people dying for you. That's life? I wonder if you'd say that if you had to live of crumbs, had a day-job protecting your neighbourhood with a gun and had a constant fear of giving birth to a mutated and deformed child to add up to the 3 you already have.
Punk, and Anti-Flag is for people who want peace, equality, and an end to suffering. And most of all, for people who have opened their eyes to all the shit going on in this world. Judging from the main arguments of all the nay-sayers (Personal bashing and "if USA's so bad, move!"), and the fact that Anti-Flag for one is loooong past that point, ánd the fact that you can't think of arguments why you could be wrong yourself, are one reason for me to stick with the 'right' side.
Open your eyes.
