Land of the Free & the Brave?

I'm beginning to see through the lies to my youth
The bold propaganda they keep selling as truth
& my anger keeps growing, it intensifies
The more I'm assaulted by government lies.

All the advertised crap that insults me each day
Subsidized by the government, under its sway.
To the corporate tunes the politicos dance
While the populace slumbers, asleep in a trance.

The doomsday clock ticking, increasing its pace
And a nation of lemmings, all caught up in a race,
Bitching, biting each other, their skin colors wrong,
Celebrating their hate in a sickening song.

Proclaiming their God, the only one right.
Destroying the Earth, yet too frightened to fight
For the right to live free.
Be wary of talking if you disagree.

We're a nation in debt & we quit even trying
To keep track of people we're killing, they're dying
So we can spend hours just getting to work.
Degrading the world, we keep acting like jerks.

Little children go blind cause they don't have a dime
for the vitamin K & they're old 'for their time.
As we poison their land cause it's cheaper to screw them.
While stuffing ourselves full of crap and confusion.

All the while claiming, with unbending pride
We've the right to be greedy cause God's on our side.
So blinded by righteousness we don't understand
How damned we've become with this blood on our hands.

You don't have to be holding the gun or the axe,
You're complicit by paying the federal tax.
We no longer live in the land of the free or the brave
We're a nation of cowardly, corporate slaves.

Now, into the circle file...
