Last night I woke up just to rest my weary mind I can't seem to make up what life I want to find This irony it burns my heart so cold Yet as lonely as I am I want to be left alone I wanna walk to the farthest place that's close Just to find a crowd in which I am alone All those mirrored glances passin' through my head Oh, as living as I am, I'm not seen as I were dead I'm seen as I were dead Just another face in the faceless mob of ghosts Pulled as circlin' planets into a blackhole How we squeal in cellphones as pigs inside our pens Oh, as filthy as it is, how we litter our own den Parked in roads we hurry to a place but miles away Horns that sound as mooing cows against the hay Placcid faces staring at endless red lamps As evolved as we may say still around the lights we camp Still around the lights we camp Educated people, we learn stupidity In the name of progress we're debased so willingly Voting in our prophet, our hopes caried away As defunct as it may be, in this rut we fight to stay Honest people lyin' to show how right they are How we all are like them, see how the truth we scar Freedom is just a word we throw around And just like our feeble words, so our wills will be thrown down So our wills will be thrown down So our wills will be thrown down

Mr, Obama promised us change But this change looks more like a police state Now, Romney says he'll deregulate But not at the 47 percentage rate And they both claim that they're patriots But so did Bush, that idiot! *chorus* And now the NSA and the FBI Are linin' up the reasons why All of us with questions now Have to go to the gallows *chorus* Eleven years ago, they used our fears To strip away our freedoms dear But the media won't reflect, they swore That this is in no way like the cold-war And they'd like you to think you have a choice Red versus Blue, rhetoric stole your voice *repeat chorus* Well, either of them in the whitehouse Is about as good as Mickey Mouse Not as big as he'd like to be So, we'll compensate with monopoly And we'd all have jobs, yes, you know we would We'll call it America, most fake in the world *repeat chorus* Oh, we all like cattle are fed upon You can't see me! With words and money they strung us up Strigoi, strigoi, тирания живет они не остановится пока вся наша кровь сухая פֿאָלק וועל גלעב'ן אַבי וואָס איןעם האָפ'ן אויף אַ זילבער לעפל (Folk vel gleb'n abi vos inem hof'n aoyf a zilber lefl) *repeat chorus* I say, the NSA and the FBI Are linin' up the reasons why All of us with questions now Have to go to the gallows We have to go to the gallows They'll be sendin' us to the gallows

Well, I woke up hung today Cause I could not hold my demons at bay So, I drunk up my joe and lit up smoke Cause the world is not goin' away Then I proceeded to watch my TV Yes, the whole world on my movie screen And I know in the end, I'll reach more 'round that bend Cause at least then I'm able to scream Well you may call me a prodigal son But know this, I'm not the only one That sees through your lies, those one-liner cries To enslave your daughters and son Well, you call this the land of the free Maybe free to cut down every tree But, hey, we got Mars and we'll reach for the stars To kill everything that doesn't agree Yeah, we're cuttin' down forrests for malls For track homes and more city halls Yeah, we're cuttin' down trees for mere papers of green But this greed has got us by the balls So, go and say that I'm Satan's spawn I am right but say I'm doin' wrong And I'll be vilified but you'll be left unsatisfied Cause someone else will pick up and go on Hope we'll learn from this recession But we all know its called depression And as history shows, we'll keep loopin' to sow The seeds of mindless oppression So, go and say that I'm antichrist So the people will forget your lies Trade forests for malls and let earth take the fall After all what gives you the right?

First they came for Islamist and then for the anarchist But when they come for me there'll be none to set me free Cause I won't have any of this facade of the patriot And for that they'll know down my door and call a grand jury Yeah, behold the new McCarthy So brave he'll beat your children in the street So, gather round the book burning to celebrate the right taking And don't you say a word or they'll call you a commie Black clothes and a computer make me the next hijacker So, lock up all your children or I'll rape them mentally Yeah, I'm the new criminal, my crime not eating animals And for that they'll knock down my door and slap the death penalty Yeah, behold the new McCarthy So brave he finds red doors on every street So, turn in all your parents for not being so heaven sent Cause we all know that having thought means you host a hanging Oh, shit, they found my literature, some Marx for my ligature In school, I read the Crucible, next they'll burn me at the stake Well, I once read, "We, the people," but I'm not under their steeple And for they'll knock down my door for the black list they will make Yeah, behold the new McCarthy So brave he'll watch you when you sleep So, give up all you freedoms so the enemy has no kingdom Cause we know toppling tyrannies means your rights we must take So, give up all you freedoms so the enemy has no kingdom Cause we know toppling tyrannies means your rights we must take

If loose lips go on sinkin' ships then how long do I got Till I must dive astern? Yes, how long can I disagree with the government's philosophy That witch-hunt's their lanterns burn? Cause just the other day I found a story left to the underground And these words did shock me so They read, "US citizen shot on sight, no chance at trial nor words to fight" Oh, who's the next to go? Is it me, America, whom you will blast away? Or in chambers will ya gas The 99 percent of whom you treat as brought forth from the womb The species from the past? If we're the land of civility, then why the police brutality to quell the sides we choose? Yes, why the need to do them in for no more reason than their skin? Do you have so much to lose? For, though, we're stock from immigrants you deem that brown man insolent For claiming what's his right We sing the words that Guthrie wrote yet deny the red-labeled message spoke and view things black and white Is it me, America, whom you'll incarcerate? Or to work camps will ya show The throngs of leary citizen no longer counted denizens Of the new breed which you'll grow? If I'm not of the one percent, then why are my words called dissent? Am I not worthy to be heard? Everyone's yellin', left to right, and we're all wrong yet still we fight Its a contest of the absurd For, though, we want our voices heard, these goals will cease all spoken word By a government endorsing thought I say, fuck your goddamn censorship and get off of my pirate ship! This mind shall not be washed! Will it be, America, my voice you'll seek to shut? Or my house you'll missle-lock? For, though, I am your native son, I'll answer not to anyone Least of all, you, Mr. Barack
