Cobra Skulls - Rebel Fate lyrics

Eager to burn old glory But the colors are too faded I've been abandoned by america Or have I betrayed it? We plant freedom in a foreign land But you can't reap the rights we've sown With a working man's hand You don't have the body Quite like you used to Before the military commissions act Was voted through and process is due to you But when you're charged with nothing In the system there's nothing that you can do We are a new Rome and we cross a Rubicon And back at home the republic's all gone As we wait for smoke to clear What else do we have to fear? I went neighborhood walking And street corner talking To call my people to action But there's no stopping them from shopping Somebody slammed a door in my face Somebody said I'm with you But it's too late to save this place And he said I was once like you And I used to protest too But the powers that be are too great So walk away from your rebel fate
