| An American, in American crosshairs
|
| Rights, well I guess they lost theirs
|
| Executive orders coming down
|
| Our forefathers could not foresee
|
| These wrongs in the name of security
|
| The US constitution’s run aground…
|
| They’ve got secret machines
|
| And satellites with laser beams
|
| And no one’s getting out of here alive
|
| One assassination under god
|
| The stars and stripes his calling card
|
| Yeah you can run, there’s sure no place to hide…
|
| Getting scared again, guess that’s just a cross borne free
|
| But liberty will cost more
|
| One match and the next amendment’s set ablaze
|
| An American, target on his back
|
| Bound to the sound of a rifle’s crack
|
| And all that we’ve believed has been betrayed…
|
| They call it heresy, all based on hearsay
|
| Lies, propaganda and a healthy dose of fear
|
| Makes it hard to want to testify on his behalf
|
| They’ve redesigned the lines of the battlefield
|
| Truth not a stock showing profit yield
|
| Green light the kill shot, damn the aftermath…
|
| Secret machines, philistines with full magazines
|
| Another regime so pristine on your tv screen
|
| Congress convenes, they send in the marines
|
| And they stifle the screams, it’s the same old routine
|
| From American dreams comes a nightmarish scene
|
| And the freedom to be goes head down on the guillotine
|
| We must intervene, if we don’t come between
|
| They will never come clean, and this can’t be redeemed |
