Anti-flag - Until It Happens to You lyrics

You walk past an activist, who is talking on the street About political prisoners, locked up in your own home state And you think for just a minute, you think for just a second Then you say, "That can't be true! 'Cause I live in the land of freedom where no one gets a screw!" You turn your face, you turn your back You say, "That can't be true!" You stay safe lost in your prefab world 'Cause you're sure it won't happen to you You're sure it won't happen to you Just wait till it happens to you! You heard it everyday, since the first day of your life But you never stopped to think, what you heard was full of lies You can't question for a minute, can't question for a second 'Cause you're nothing but a tool Who's blueprints are tailored and fashioned Each night by the evening news You turn your face, you turn your back You say, "That can't be true!" You stay safe lost in your prefab world 'Cause you're sure it won't happen to you You're sure it won't happen to you Just wait till it happens to you! You could stand on the street, talk 'til you're blue in the face And they would not make you stop 'cause you have no power base But if Dan Rather got on the Evening News And said, "Its time for revolution!" The F.B.I. would f** him up so bad Hed wish he wasn't living! They call it America, 'Land of the free, home of the brave' And they call it America, 'Land of the free, home of the brave' Yeah, they call it America, 'Land of the free, home of the brave' More to the truth it's a murderer, it's the land of the enslaved! Enslaved, enslaved, enslaved, enslaved, enslaved You turn your face, you turn your back You say, "That can't be true!" You stay safe lost in your prefab world 'Cause you're sure it won't happen to you You're sure it won't happen to you Youre sure it wont happen to Sure it wont happen Sure it wont happen to you!
