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 Im 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 capitalists democracy no one said that freedoms free lady liberty rots
Away no truth, no justice the american way
Dont 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 doesnt it make you mad to have lost all that
Weve 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 capitalists democracy no one said that freedoms free lady liberty rots
Away no truth, no justice the american way
Doesnt it fill you with disgust that theres 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 thats 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 capitalists democracy no one said that freedoms free lady liberty rots
Away no truth, no justice the american way
