Where Has My Country Gone
I can here the jackboots again
Although I'm not in Nazi Germany
And I'm not in Red China
These are iraqos in my Home-Land
They're every value un-American
A spit in the face to the authors of the Constitution!
[Chorus]
These are ugly days, ugly times, ugly words
From lies and disinformation ignorance is born
Can you smell the hatred being bred from fear?
And dont you understand that when you give your rights away
There is no freedom left to die for?
Where has my country gone?!?!
Can't see the similarities
Can't disern reality
'Cause when you're awake you're still dreaming!
Dreaming in the mall and in the shops of 5th Avenue
In endless choices of fashion accessories
Drowning euphoria in a sea of gluttony
dive in deep now - these drugs are legal
dive in deep now - these drugs they are even encouraged - advertised!
Dive in deep now - no need to fear global corporations
Dive in deep now - let the pain, blood, and tears of sweatshop workers lull you to sleep...
Or you canlook to the alternative
turn from the conservative
The backward facist
like prospectives
they saved us by enslaving us!
Strips our rights away
with no guarantee of improved Homeland Security
Who's gaining from these policies?
The American people? Or those looking to abuse their authority?
Although I'm not in Nazi Germany
And I'm not in Red China
These are iraqos in my Home-Land
They're every value un-American
A spit in the face to the authors of the Constitution!
[Chorus]
These are ugly days, ugly times, ugly words
From lies and disinformation ignorance is born
Can you smell the hatred being bred from fear?
And dont you understand that when you give your rights away
There is no freedom left to die for?
Where has my country gone?!?!
Can't see the similarities
Can't disern reality
'Cause when you're awake you're still dreaming!
Dreaming in the mall and in the shops of 5th Avenue
In endless choices of fashion accessories
Drowning euphoria in a sea of gluttony
dive in deep now - these drugs are legal
dive in deep now - these drugs they are even encouraged - advertised!
Dive in deep now - no need to fear global corporations
Dive in deep now - let the pain, blood, and tears of sweatshop workers lull you to sleep...
Or you canlook to the alternative
turn from the conservative
The backward facist
like prospectives
they saved us by enslaving us!
Strips our rights away
with no guarantee of improved Homeland Security
Who's gaining from these policies?
The American people? Or those looking to abuse their authority?
