Oh we're chantin' land of the free and the home of the brave,
While our founding fathers are a tossin' and a turnin' in their graves.
Corporations and Congress are workin' together,
Two rabid vultures of the same feather.
Oh unions like this were made before,
By the Germans back in the 2nd World War.
Well we're fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan,
And soon to be headin' into Iran.
Oh we're chantin' land of the free and home of the brave,
While our founding fathers are a tossin' and a turnin' in their graves.
How can the elders not see,
That their kids will be fighting in World War III?
Nearly all of the media is owned by six corporations,
Mass commercialism and propaganda on all of their stations
With Palin I'm takin' the words of my uncle Timothy L.,
Sayin' "Hey pretty woman you can go to hell!"
While everyday workers are living in squalor,
The FED responds by printing more dollars.
Well while Wall Street keeps playin' its games,
The cost of living rises but the pay's still the same.
Enormous tax cuts for wealthy corporations to get,
When we've acquired trillions of debt.
Oh we're chantin' land of the free and the home of the brave,
While our founding fathers are a tossin' and a turnin' in their graves.
We funded Bin Laden through the CIA,
and South American dictators through the DEA.
They send out their advocates a-clean and a-polished,
To cover the fact they should both be abolished.
Hang that drug war on the shelf,
'Cuz you can't protect the people from themselves.
You trample free speech in the name of your kids,
And blame Marilyn Manson when one flips his lid.
Oh we're chantin' land of the free and the home of the brave,
While our founding fathers are a tossin' and a turnin' in their graves.
Our 1st and 4th amendments are under attack,
By the so called PATRIOT Act.
Our name has been tarnished day by day,
By the atrocities committed at Guantanamo Bay.
Well you can shoot me down and make me bleed,
You can cut out my tongue, but you will never silence me.
Well you can shoot me down and make me bleed,
Oh Lord! You can cut out my tongue, but you will never silence me.
Oh we're chantin' land of the free and the home of the brave,
While our founding fathers are a tossin' and a turnin' in their graves. |
