The American Way

Truth and honor faith and pride
 All convictions surely died
 Honesty's 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 wrapped 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
 Why, 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 we 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
 Why, 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
 Why, no one said that freedom's free
 Lady liberty rots away
 No truth, no justice
