1.The American Way
Truth and honor faith and pride all convictions surely died
honesties
time has passed time for lies is here at last truth is false I'm
so fed up
how did we come to be so fucked hate fear pain death all our
country
has got left
Talk to children hear them say daddy left again today brother
steals and
mommy lies future lost before their eyes the sun was lost behind
the
clouds they rapped it up and blacked it out acid rain fell today
it came
and washed our hopes away
This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help
themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady
liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way
Don't look past your t.v. all of us are what you see a looking
glass into
our lives what we watch is what we buy priorities are out of
whack
who is next to stab our back doesn't it make you mad to have
lost all that
we've had
This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help
themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady
liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way
Doesn't it fill you with disgust that there's no one left to
trust is this
happening is this real my body numb I cannot feel are you happy
are you
sad are emotions a thing of the past I have no tears I cannot
cry no one
mourns for a world that's died
This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help
themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady
liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way
