Lyrics

Fall asleep in the living room
Accept your poisoning, subdued by news cops or slogans
So it aint perfect but I hear this land is free
But whos so free these days?
Not the children who barely eat
You probably wont find them on the cover of newsweek
Thrown in a sea of green, the rich stay afloat
Hey im fucking drowning, 150,000 walked these streets today
Thats 150,000 good reasons to scream
But our brain-washed minds are hardened
Hands work and die to keep america rolling
Fabricated crime state rise 100,000 new police
They dont care about people, just profitable prisons
Drop a bomb every now and then build obediance, patriotism
Too bad the bombs were pointed at civilians
Just like you and me, only overseas
Problems at home remain, murder used to boost the economy
And their gleaming smiles, help keep you proud
Forget, smile, bow your head down, stop
Admit that theyre killing us, who are you giving all your trust
Breaking your back is that what freedom really costs?
Well freedom isnt really begging for your food
How can you tear down the homes we live in?
Build condominiums, theyve got a clean-up crew
And the 5:00 news to reinforce it
Pulling sheets over the sheeps' heads blame the poor
Call the bims and thieves
But do you know who are the real thieves?
White upper class steal everything to maintain this class elite
They've got us seeing green food and clothing are no privelages
They are necessities
Dont believe your tv
Its thought control brought to you by nbc
