heros and wasted breath

sometimes i just want to tie ’em down
and see just what they think torture is.
sometimes i imagine they just don’t understand
what it’s like to be in a war … you know,
dying and all that.
then i get so fired up and upset
that i worry some of their terrorists
may come crashing through my wall
proclaiming their proclivity to saving me.
Thanks, but I’d rather just torture the president.
