00:00We stood side by side in the Cold War, freezing in the dead of night
00:06Now you tally up the bills and say we never join the fight
00:13You claim we're freeloading, living off your dime
00:17Slapping tariffs on a steel, making partnership a crime
00:21Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
00:30Every day the same procedure, just to seal our fate
00:35Trading old alliances for a brand new hate
00:40Oh, it's a cruel task with you
00:43We're always waiting for you to cut the crap
00:46You break all of our rules, wiping allies off the map
00:55It feels like you're always drunk on your powder scheme
00:59And we cry like a baby for our broken American dream
01:03Coming home to reality, saying we are fine
01:08But that is not true
01:11It's a cruel task with you
01:13You used to be the shining city
01:16The beacon we adored
01:20Now your streets are burning up
01:23The democracy's rules get ignored
01:27Dropping bombs and heavy sanctions
01:30A reckless foreign plan
01:33From the strikes in Venezuela
01:36To the brink of war in Iran
01:40And when the Russian bear is growling
01:43Right outside our door
01:47You just look the other way
01:50Like we don't matter anymore
01:54We scream for whatever it's worth
01:57We still love you
01:58Ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
02:02Cause we're too afraid
02:03To face this chaos on our own
02:08Yeah, it's a cruel task
02:12Saying we are fine
02:16But that is not true
02:19You left us at home
02:22And yet we're still counting on you
02:26It's a cruel task
02:34It's a cruel task
02:37Until then
02:38You
02:41You
02:41You
