From the recording What it's like living in the USA(hardcore protest version)
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Oh, It's hard living in the USA.
Its leaders don't do SHIT, just delay.
The chambers echo with endless fights,
Smiling as they strip away our rights.
All at the hands of shadowed lobbyists,
Feeding the greed of capitalistic colonists!
(Verse 2)
Oh, they only care for their corporate profits,
Our worth reduced to what fills their pockets.
The politicians long bought and paid for,
Oh, They're corrupt right to the core!
Listen! It ain't that hard to understand,
the rich pull the strings in this ‘Motherland.’
(Chorus)
Oh, each passing day in the USA,
it only gets worse, they'll take it all away.
‘Robber Barons’ thrive, doing as they please,
the rest on their own, brought to their knees!
Oh, So much for, ‘The Land of the Free’,
especially hard for those denied equality!
[guitar solo]
(Verse 3)
IT'S TIME WE WAKE THE FUCK UP! This I know.
Defend this fractured democracy, it's on skid row!
We're spinning fast, circling the drain.
It’s plain to see, we’re drowning in pain.
When our hard work turns into ceremony,
the rich have annexed this territory!
(Chorus)
Yeah, each passing day within the USA,
it can’t keep getting worse, this grand betray.
When Congress takes their bribes with ease,
first the poor, then all, will feel the squeeze.
Oh, this is no longer, ‘The Land of the Free’!
We DEMAND no more be denied, from ‘Sea to Sea’!
(Bridge)
No ‘Home of the Brave,’ just cowards in reign.
Selling our dreams for their capital gain.
Oh, ‘We the People’ have lost our voices,
shackled in darkness, stripped of real choices.
I say, time has finally come to unite!
Together, we will help freedom fight!
(Outro)
[increasing intensity]
The capital's hallways run bright with red...
Offering only thoughts and prayers for our dead.
Oh, I say they CHOOSE not to see,
The chains that bind both you and me.
There is no end to their delays,
creating a growing wave of dismay.
The rising tide of revolution,
May be our only true solution!
Depose their reign; it’s time to show our might.
Now we rise, together in ‘Dawn’s Early Light.’
To end the curse of ‘Twilight’s Last Gleaming’s’ plight!
