Truth and honor faith and pride  all convictions surely died  honesties time has passed  time for lies is here at last  truth is false I'm so fed up  how did we come to be so fucked  hate fear pain death  all our country has got left  Talk to children hear them say  daddy left again today  brother steals and mommy lies  future lost before their eyes  the sun was lost behind the clouds  they rapped it up and blacked it out  acid rain fell today  it came and washed our hopes away  This was once the land of dreams  now these dreams have turned to greed  in the midst of all this wealth  the poor are left to help themselves  a capitalist's democracy  no one said that freedom's free  lady liberty rots away  no truth, no justice  the American way  Don't look past your t.v.  all of us are what you see  a looking glass into our lives  what we watch is what we buy  priorities are out of whack  who is next to stab our back  doesn't it make you mad  to have lost all that we've had  This was once the land of dreams  now these dreams have turned to greed  in the midst of all this wealth  the poor are left to help themselves  a capitalist's democracy  no one said that freedom's free  lady liberty rots away  no truth, no justice  the American way  Doesn't it fill you with disgust  that there's no one left to trust  is this happening is this real  my body numb I cannot feel  are you happy are you sad  are emotions a thing of the past  I have no tears I cannot cry  no one mourns for a world that's died  This was once the land of dreams  now these dreams have turned to greed  in the midst of all this wealth  the poor are left to help themselves  a capitalist's democracy  no one said that freedom's free  lady liberty rots away  no truth, no justice  the American way  --
