"Be Prepared"



You crashed our planes,
Killed our people,
and tore down our buildings.
But you can't take away
the heart of America.
Our military is fighting
and you will see how
fucked you are cuz
this is the land of the free.
So be prepared cuz we're
not backing down,
we're gonna kick your
ass and let hell out
on your towns.
So just remember our
flag flies high.
You can tear down our buildings
but America won't die.
