Lyrics

You walk past an activist, who is talking on the street about political prisoners, locked up in your own home state and you think just for a minute, you think just a second then you say, "that can't be true! cause I live in the land of the freedom... where no one gets the screw!" you turn your face, you turn your back, you say, "that can't be true!" you stay safe locked in your prefab world, cause you're sure it won't happen to you you're sure it won't happens to you! you heard it every day, since the first day of your life but you never stopped to think, what you heard was full of lies you can't question for a minute, can't question for a second cause you're nothing but a tool whose blueprints are tailored and fashioned, each night by the evening news you could stand on the street, talk 'til you're blue in the face and they would not make you stop, cause you have no power base but if dan rather got on the evening news, and said, "it's time for revolution!" the f.b.i. would fuck him up so bad, he'd wish he wasn't living! they call it america, "land of the free, home of the brave" more to the truth it's a murderer, it's the land of the enslaved!
