THE PROLETARIAT LYRICS

"Homeland"

burning crosses light our way
lighting candles in a church all day
fighting neighbors that won't go away
this is our homeland
book burnings for the beginner
summer picnics by polluted rivers
swollen bellies that make us shiver
this is our homeland
singing anthems in the rain
taking drugs to mask the pain
barren landscapes and hidden grain
this is our homeland
planting missiles like so many crops
soup kitchen's closed, where the buck stops
overruns and payoffs and similar props
this is our homeland
politicians who kiss the children
handshake agreements with the Indian
and the lottery is the dream of millions
this is our homeland
video preachers that pray on our fears
telethons that draw artificial tears
sportsmen who exterminate deer
and we're singing anthems in the rain
home of the free, land of the brave
if only i could remember the refrain
and this is our national anthem
this is our homeland
where the meek may inherit
but only the strong will reign
