I am American, my empty pockets grow deeper I'll never get ahead Always a day late, always a dollar short They'll take you under a broken wing Become dependent on a government That can't depend on itself Can you envision the collision They'll destroy our minds, but not our instincts Society breaks down with every scientific breakthrough Solidating power by legalizing insanity f** your desire for peace They rape and pillage in your name You're against abortion but you aborted your dreams Privatized banks implementing a dictatorship
Antipatriots extend the patriot act And constitutionals are put on a watchlist I am American, my empty pockets grow deeper I'll never get ahead Always a day late, always a dollar short They'll take you under a broken wing Destined to fail since seventeen seventy six A power tripping indecesive nation Don't trade freedom for security They'll destroy our minds, but not our instincts They'll destroy our minds, but not our instincts Solidating power by legalizing insanity f** your desire for peace They rape and pillage in your name
