Truth and honor faith and pride all convictions surely died
honesties time has passed
time for lies is here at last

truth is false I'm so fed up engin
how did we come to be so f___ed
hate fear pain death all our country has got left

Talk to children hear them say
daddy left again today
brother steals and mommy lies
future lost before their eyes

the sun was lost behind the
clouds they rapped it up and blacked it out
acid rain fell today it came and washed our hopes away

{Coro}
This was once the land of dreams
now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth
the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots away no truth, no justice the American way

Don't look past your t.v.
all of us are what you see
a looking glass into our lives
what we watch is what we buy priorities
are out of whack who is next to stab our back doesn't it make you mad to have lost all that we've had

{Coro}
This was once the land of dreams
now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth
the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots away no truth, no justice the American way

{Solo}

Doesn't it fill you with disgust that ¨
there's no one left to trust
is this happening is this real
my body numb I cannot feel
are you happy are you sad are emotions a thing of the past
I have no tears I cannot cry no one mourns for a world that's died

{Coro}
This was once the land of dreams
now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth
the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots away no truth, no justice the American way
