Lyrics

I can here the jackboots again
Although I'm not in nazi germany
And I'm not in red china

These are echos in my home-land
They're every value un-american
A spit in the face to the authors of the constitution!

Chorus
These are ugly days, ugly times, ugly words
From lies and disinformation ignorance is born
Can you smell the hatrid being bred from fear?
And don't you understand that when you give your rights away
There is no freedom left to die for?
Where has my country gone?!?!

Can't see the similarities?
Can't disern reality?
'Cause when you're awake you're still dreaming!
Dreaming in the mall and in the shops of 5th avenue
In endless choices of fashion accessories
Drowning euphoria in a sea of gluttony

Delve in deep now - there drugs are legal
Delve in deep now - these drugs they are even encouraged - advertised!
Delve in deep now - no need to fear global corporations
Delve in deep now - let the pain, blood
And tears of sweatshop workers lull you to sleep..

Or you can look to the alternative - turn from the conservative
The backward facist-like prospects - that saves us by enslaving us!
Strips our rights away - with no garuntee of improved homeland security
Who is gaining from these policies?
The american people? or those looking to abuse their authority?
