God Damn is the fourth of ten songs on Avenged Sevenfold's 2016 album The Stage.  

Lyrics

Hey, can't you see we're tripping on the wire

Walking through the candy land of our desires

Press the magic button and behold the world you crave

Where's the fun in freedom when it renders you a slave?  

Pledge allegiance, no flag, God nation, God Damn

The devil dances with the scorned, and hope the fire keeps us warm

Hey, it goes beyond big brother in the sky

Beyond the threat of martial law, no hoarus eye

No one came to cuff you, they just handed you the chains

Blind follows the blind and now the one-eyed man is king

Pledge allegiance, no flag, God nation, God Damn

The devil dances with the scorned, and hope the fire keeps us warm

Tunnel vision, no man, damn nation, damnation Damn

Can't see the forest for the trees, can't heal the wound before we bleed

No form of payment, no pot of gold, can satisfy the debt of what he is owed

Spilling from the houses in a trance the children lined up on the road

Cursing at the piper as he lured your kids away

And lead them to the river for what was there final day

No need for convincing, on his pipe he played a song to fool them all

He fooled them all

Pledge allegiance, no flag, God nation, God Damn

The devil dances with the scorned, and hope the fire keeps us warm

Tunnel vision, no man, damn nation, damnation Damn

Can't see the forest for the trees, can't heal the wound before we bleed
