Death Of Diplomacy - Acoustic

When the buildings fell I was not afraid of terrorism
 I was afraid of my own nation's call to repression and pre-emptive aggression
 Now I see my fears were justified
 And our fearless leaders — once again they lied
 Why will he never tell us the real reasons?
 Propaganda wins over real information
 Redistribution of wealth justifies murder
 Enforcing one mandate by breaking another
 While you pretend it's business as usual
 The American way of life is not negotiable
 Oh you pretend it's business as usual
 The American dream is possible (even if only for you)
 I want to trust my government, I don't need to be further radicalized
 But what choice do I have when there's no way to rationalize
 His power has corrupted him, like those he fights, absolutely
 And I was not scared of terrorism until he killed diplomacy
 While you pretend it's business as usual
 The American way of life is not negotiable
 Oh you pretend it's business as usual
 The American dream is possible (even if only in his speeches)
