Lyrics:

Every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the war
And every morning it upstages all my favorite shows--Donahue, Hogan's Heroes

(chorus:)
It's the American way, the new world order
We hold these truths to be self-evident
In the American day, you must give and I shall take,
And I will tell you what is moral and what's just

Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I kill

Every morning I get up and I raise the flag,
Salute the monument of those who gave their lives
And I guess war's OK, it's just a little inconvenient, but it's better
Than a video game...it's better than the movies

(chorus)

Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I kill

And every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the war
And every morning it upstages everything I know...

(chorus)

Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I
Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I
Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I
