America Lost and Found
America
The land of the free isn't hallowed ground
America
No sanity in the lost and found
America
The home of the brave is Falling Down
America
No hope or change in the lost and found
Murder is a hobby. They lobby for it. 'Cause war is profit
Yet they got this war on profit. I wonder which war is next
They think that it's not important to sort this enormous debt
Their focus is stock performance, constitution torn to shreds
Theft is commonplace. They'll confiscate your property
If you don't wanna pay the proper fee and feed the bureaucracy
The State's engaged in robbery. The legislative body seems
Intent on passin' policies that actively act to promote poverty
Politicians promise they will not increase taxes
Sell you a pack of lies packaged as a sacrifice
After which, they act as if it won't affect your families' lives
Their core religion is corporatism. The more you give 'em, the more they take
But there's more at stake. Our poor children can't afford to pay. For their sake
Don't let 'em re-live your mistakes. We all share this common ground
You're not allowed to just watch us drown. Guess what? We broke, no jobs around
They been robbin' us for years. We gon' rob 'em now. America, lost and found
America
The land of the free isn't hallowed ground
America
No sanity in the lost and found
America
The home of the brave is Falling Down
America
No hope or change in the lost and found
Corruption is a function of higher office. 'Cuz liars often
Try to deny their conscience. They line their pockets
With profits and no one tries to stop it. Pray to false idols and prophets
Rockin' designer watches, bought with tax dollars
Our forefathers all rightly fought this. Be highly cautious
Of all of these congressmen, And all who have gotten rich
Through involvement in politics. Promises, Promises
It's all just a parlor trick. Why bother with common sense?
The problem is the logic is missing, it's the cognitive dissonance
Of obvious hypocrites that are oddly oblivious
To the different problems we're living with
Proudly dismissive with ungodly indifference
Listen, it's plain to see. Since the day that we learned our ABC's
We were trained to be subservient, the person in
Front of the curtain is a diversion, it's the puppet master
Behind the scenes that minds the strings. It's time to bring
Some kind of peace to a society that treats
Lies and greed with high esteem. They try to keep us
Silent by violent means. But we'll fight and bleed
And even die to keep the right to speak till we're finally free
America
The land of the free isn't hallowed ground
America
No sanity in the lost and found
America
The home of the brave is Falling Down
America
No hope or change in the lost and found
We're tired of the racists, the violence, and hatred
On both sides of the equation. Tired of the latest
Debate and the way it gets inside our entertainment
When we're trying to escape it. Don't believe in the media
Supplyin' information. They're lyin' to your faces
They don't even try to hide manipulation
Their biases are blatant. Defiantly complacent
Complicit in tryin' to divide and kill a nation
Liars quick to say if you don't like the situation
You should find a different station. Patrons on both sides
Of the aisle engage in vile intimidation
They smile while we're faced with trials and tribulations
There's a glitch in the Matrix, the file needs replacing
They get rich off engagement, the virus leads to payments
Reporting live from inside the simulation
The final destination, it's time for us to change it
America
The land of the free isn't hallowed ground
America
No sanity in the lost and found
America
The home of the brave is Falling Down
America
No hope or change in the lost and found
The land of the free isn't hallowed ground
America
No sanity in the lost and found
America
The home of the brave is Falling Down
