you walk past an activist, who is talking on the street
about political prisoners, locked up in your own home state
and you think just for a minute, you think just a second
then you say, "that can`t be true! `cause i live in the land of the freedom...
where no one gets the screw!"
chorus:
you turn your face, you turn your back, you say, "that can`t be true!"
you stay safe locked in your prefab world, `cause you`re sure it won`t happen to you
you`re sure it won`t happens to you!
you heard it every day, since the first day of your life
but you never stopped to think, what you heard was full of lies
you can`t question for a minute, can`t question for a second
`cause you`re nothing but a tool
whose blueprints are tailored and fashioned, each night by the evening news
you could stand on the street, talk `til you`re blue in the face
and they would not make you stop, `cause you have no power base
but if Dan Rather got on the Evening News, and said, "it`s time for revolution!"
the F.B.I. would fuck him up so bad, he`d wish he wasn`t living!
they call it America, "land of the free, home of the brave"
more to the truth it`s a murderer, it`s the land of the Enslaved
