Lyrics

God you must be kidding me, I thought this was supposed to be
The home of the brave and the free for you and me
But now there's something wrong - shit's been going on too long
It's never gonna change, there's no way, so I say:
What's the cia and the nra?
They're all the same, just names are changed
Fuck, there's no excuse, any way you lose
It's all a joke in the god old usa

(Chorus)
All we need is more factories pumping filth into the sky. (into the sky)
Corporate greed and perverted priests, it's the story of our lives. (of our lives)
And apathy's the national disease and there is no end in sight. (no end in sight)
God save the usa, blame the president, and say your prayers tonight

The irony of liberty is no one here is truly free
When elections are stolen by greed and the g.o.p
So watch the nightly news - find out how you are getting screwed
What you gonna do? there's no use, so I say:
Fuck the industry, the aristocracy
They're all the same - just names are changed
Fuck, there's no excuse, any way you lose
It's all a joke in the good old usa

(Chorus)

"We have all been taught to believe in a world of greed and deceit, our true control is minimal….the untruths we are fed, the true power of freedom we will never know."

Government hypocrisy, american idolatry, corporate philosophy
Nightly news of tragedies- where no one cares what's right or wrong
Our heroes now are all long gone, the freedoms that we all abuse
The obituaries are front page news!

(Chorus)
