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
