A//POLITICAL LYRICS
"Freedom?"
Blind patriot praises democracy
And praise our glorious history
The United States and United hates
In inbred ignorance and the police state
The freedom of choice as long as you fit
Or as long as you have the money to pay for it
Democracy - a money scheme
The rich stay rich, and we're left to dream
Conditioned well from the day of birth
More money is the answer to quench your thirst
Competition - competition
Beat down the rest in repetition
You must succeed or you're a nobody
Cast in the bank makes you a somebody
This democracy, a money scheme
You can stuff your American dream
Democracy - freedom of choice
Where everyone is equal and has a voice
America, land of the free
America, where we're all so blindly happy
Pacified, subservient, fools are what you are
Believing their lies and supporting their wars
Can't you see it's all in the name of greed
That that mocks good is a charity
Only the strong survive, only the rich survive
Only the blind get by, only the obedient survive
This democracy is a mockery
Of so-called freedom, what hypocrisy
Freedom of choice of what to buy
Equality - just another lie
This system is one big fucking machine
The rich reap the harvest while we work within
We are slaves, we work all our days
And with desperation we accept our pay
Keeping the machine in working order
Oppressing those beyond all borders
Democracy - freedom of choice
Where everyone is equal and has a voice
America, land of the free
America, where we're all so blindly happy
Freedom? Freedom for who? For whoever can afford it - that's who.
Democracy? Our glorious freedom of choice,
yet another misleading statement to fool us into their ignorance and pride.
Which multinational should I give my money to today?
Should I support starving children in third world countries,
the destruction of the rainforest, or perhaps the death of a few hundred innocent animals?
Let me put that in consumer terms folks. McDonald's or Burger King. Coke or Pepsi. (?) or Gillette.
This list goes on and on....
