With just one moment
20 Years in flames
You picked up the phone 
And whispered her name
I can't forgive that
I can't condone
The way you felt threatened
And picked up your phone

300million of us 
So deeply ashamed
You picked up your phone 
And spoke her name.

CHORUS
I wish you'd find yourself alone
With things you cannot contain and you cannot own
How do you get out of this one?
How do you preserve the game
When you can't pick up the phone
and speak my name?

Down from headquarters
You sent the call
It's OK to torture
and murder them all
She's just your bad apple
Spoiling the lot
You hung her out to dry
When you got caught

To cover your ass
You bring us such shame
You picked up the phone 
And spoke her name

CHORUS

A security convoy
An explosion came
You picked up your phone and
Whispered her name
An heroic rescue
To her side you flew
There's just one problem
It wasn't true
 
To the rest of the world:
We are so ashamed
They picked up the phone 
And spoke her name.

CHORUS

A stalwart soldier
Gave up so much
All-American hero
With the healing touch
He hated your lies
He told us the game
You picked up the phone 
And spoke his name
 
Will the one responsible
Stand up in shame?
You picked up the phone 
And spoke his name.
