Desaparecidos - The Underground Man lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Ya were callin' out from the underground

Ya had lots of big ideas but no one can hear them now

They riddled u with guilt, they tempted u with wealth

They twisted all yo words, they made u hate yoself

So now u do yo shtick, a loyal patriot

And u toe the party line even though it makes u sick

They gave u talkin' points, they taught u double speak

They forced u into war

By sayin' u were weak

(Chorus)

They signed yo checks till they had u in the bag

They scared u blind then draped u in a flag

Made u a man at Ft. Bragg

(Verse 2)

You'll do good business as an apologist

If u exaggerate their facts, if u perpetuate their myths

They made activism trite, they made honor optional

They made propaganda news, they made science radical

They protect teeth, take a smile for the greed

He'll slit your throat and buries you at sea

All for the land of the free!
