Eager to burn old glory   But the colors are too faded   I've been abandoned by America   Or have I betrayed it?      We plant freedom in a foreign land   But you can't reap the rights we've sown   With a working man's hand   You don't have the body   Quite like you used to   Before the Military Commissions Act   Was voted through   and process is due to you   But when you're charged with nothing   In the system there's nothing that you can do      We are a new Rome and we cross the Rubicon   And back at home the republic's all gone   As we wait for smoke to clear   What else do we have to fear?      I went neighborhood walking   And street corner talking   To call my people to action   But there's no stopping them from shopping   Somebody slammed a door in my face   Somebody said I'm with you   But it's too late to save this place      And he said I was once like you   And I used to protest too   But the powers that be are too great   So walk away from your rebel fate
