America,
the land of the free,
where the rich control life,
and the people are asleep,
wake up,
wake up,
start giving a fuck,
you can't see all is broken,
but the rest of the world does.
The towers,
Saddam,
then Osama Bin Laden,
you've traded love for blood,
and your love has been forgotten.
The machine is displeasing,
it's filthy and unclean,
eradicating purity instilling insecurity,
I speak of the American dream,
its instilled hate into life,
redefined wrong into right,
when will you realize that you murder,
when you think you're out to fight?,
you need insight,
into what the world perceives,
a broken land of hopeless man,
in the pursuit of a fiat currency.
You destroy what isn't yours,
rape the world until it's torn,
unleashed a hailstorm of mourning,
only consumerism keeps you blindfolded from the boredom,
masking yourself into debt,
because you follow society's path of buying things you can't afford.
America is America,
the homeland of the greed,
you never ask politely,
you just steal forcefully,
you listen to the media,
each story and its song,
not realizing that they're owned,
by those who are in control.
You superficially band together,
when homeland structures are bombed,
but it's your own aware citizens who desire,
to fill pipe bombs full of nails and all of their resolve,
in an attempt at their expense to staple their country's hatred to the wall.
They're not radicals,
they're just like you or me,
they've just awakened,
tho their own illegitimacy,
sacrificially,
themselves,
for their own cause,
who's to say it's wrong,
it's your country who's been bombing and murdering citizens all along!
You need to wake up,
walk away from the TV and believe,
that if things don't change,
corporate America's greed will rape this planet until there's no more air to breathe.
