lyrics

Living in America
is living in a terror state
The US of A, what a terror.
What about Guatemala in 1954?
What about Haiti or East Timor?
What about Ronald Reagan?
He just said the lines they gave him
And so the people are lambs run by conglomerations
We're oh so happy with the program

America
(America, who are your donors that buy your elections?)
America
(America who writes your laws that take away women's rights?)
America
(America, who are in your cages?)
America
(America, where are our wages?)

Right up to the present day,
now we have the CIA
and the secret police, AKA FBI
Runnin' Ops: Psy
It's on a global scale

It's so easy, too deceiving
When every word has two meanings
Socialism for the rich,
The poor get harsh free markets
The word "conservative" meant
Little to no government
In practice, it's highly authoritarian

In America
(America, who claims your disasters?
America
(America, genocide and slavery?)
America
(America, defending freedom in the name of social justice?)
America
(America, I'm disappointed)
America
