I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live 

I don't want to be ashamed to be American 

but opportunity 

no it don't exist 

it's the opiate 

of the populace 

we need some harder shit now 

the truth's getting around 

and each public school is a halfway house 

where the huddled masses sober up and up 

enough? There's not enough 

to fatten the cows and feed all of us. 

It's just a rationing of luck 

what can't be bought gets raffled off. 

oh god good god shed greed on thee, 

your shining sea turned a dirty green 

from the industry 

off the shores of New Jersey 

I got a letter from the army so I think that I'll enlist 

I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something 

too bad that nowadays you just point and click 

swing low satellite, hot white chariot 

in the computer's blue glare 

the bombs burst in the air 

there was a city once now nothing's there 

our freedom comes at their expense 

it makes sense does it? 

Dollars and cents 

they're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence 

that's surrounding your housing development 

in case you lack the confidence 

oh god my god give strength to thee 

these amber waves purple majesty is nothing but 

backdrops for Disney 

look up close it's superimposed 

on a blank blue screen yea its fantasy 

fucking magical 

the dream floats like a chemical 

through each snapped synapse 

our television past that is beautiful 

no more 

no more
