[FGFC820 - The Heart Of America lyrics]
The tragedy of our day is the climate
Of fear in which we live
And fear breeds repression
When the weapons of mass destruction thing
Turned out to be not true
I expected the American people to
Rise up ha! They didn't
And now, it's been discovered the executive
Branch has been conducting massive, illegal
Domestic surveillance on it's own
Citizens you and me
Torture, warrantless search and seizure
Illegal wiretappings
I object to government abusing it's power to
Squash the constitutional freedoms
Of it's citizenry and what I'm most sick and
Tired of is how every
Time somebody disagrees with how the
Government is running things
He or she is labeled unAmerican
We take our orders from the evening news
Paper dolls with political views
Find religion on the radio
The more you listen, the more you know
Sell the lie in a new pop song
No one questions as they sing along
Keep the pigs happy in the shit
Pick a side and bend the truth to fit
It's far easier to fight for principles
Than to live up to them
The grass is green and the skies are blue
And they're saying grace in
The heart of America
Your mind's wiped clean when
They come for you and they lie to your face
When you live in America
The grass is green and the skies are blue
And they're saying grace in
The heart of America
Your mind's wiped clean when
They come for you and they lie to your face
When you live in America
We are the tools of the government
Tiny pawns, we are all for rent
Here to hail the dictator in chief
Freedom fighters and world police
Put the blame on the generals
When politicians act like criminals
Arm the troops, then tie their hands
Plausible denial to retain command
It's far easier to fight for principles
Than to live up to them
The grass is green and the skies are blue
And they're saying grace in
The heart of America
Your mind's wiped clean when
They come for you and they lie to your face
When you live in America
The grass is green and the skies are blue
And they're saying grace in
The heart of America
Your mind's wiped clean when
They come for you and they lie to your face
When you live in America
Of fear in which we live
And fear breeds repression
When the weapons of mass destruction thing
Turned out to be not true
I expected the American people to
Rise up ha! They didn't
And now, it's been discovered the executive
Branch has been conducting massive, illegal
Domestic surveillance on it's own
Citizens you and me
Torture, warrantless search and seizure
Illegal wiretappings
I object to government abusing it's power to
Squash the constitutional freedoms
Of it's citizenry and what I'm most sick and
Tired of is how every
