I can here the jackboots again 

Although I'm not in Nazi Germany 

And I'm not in Red China 



These are echos in my Home-Land 

They're every value un-American 

A spit in the face to the authors of the Constitution! 



[Chorus] 

These are ugly days, ugly times, ugly words 

From lies and disinformation ignorance is born 

Can you smell the hatrid bring bred from fear? 

And dont you understand that when you give your rights away 

There is no freedom left to die for? 

Where has my country gone?!?! 



Can't see the similarities? 

Can't disern reality? 

'Cause when you're awake you're still dreaming! 

Dreaming in the mall and in the stores of 5th Avenue 

In endless choices and accessories 

Drowning euphoria in a sea of gluttony 



Delve in deep now - there drugs are legal 

Delve in deep now - these drugs they are even encouraged - advertised! 

Delve in deep now - no need to fear global corporations 

Delve in deep now - let the pain, blood,

and tears of sweatshop workers lull you to sleep... 



Or you canlook to the alternative - turn from the conservative 

The backward facist-like prospects - that saves us by enslaving us! 

Strips our rights away - with no garuntee of improved Homeland Security 

Who's gaining from these policies? 

The American people? Or those looking to abuse their authority?
