I am American
My empty pockets grow deeper
I'll never get ahead
Always a day late
Always a dollar short
They'll take you under a broken wing

 [bad word] dependent on a government
That can't depend on itself
Can you envision the collision?

They'll destroy our minds
But not our instincts

Society breaks down
With every scientific breakthrough

Solidating power
By legalizing insanity

 [bad word] your desire for peace
They rape and pillage in your name

You're against abortion
But you aborted your dreams

Privatized banks
Implementing a dictatorship
Antipatriots extend the patriot act
And constitutionalists are put on a watchlist

I am American
My empty pockets grow deeper
I'll never get ahead
Always a day late
Always a dollar short
They'll take you under a broken wing

Destined to fail
Since 1776
power tripping
Indecisive nation
Don't trade
Freedoms for security

They'll destroy our minds
But not our instincts
They'll destroy our minds
But not our instincts

Solidating power
By legalizing insanity

 [bad word] your desire for peace
They rape and pillage in your name
