Kmfdm - New American Century lyrics

rate me

Count your blessings Walk the line Don't move too fast Or fall behind There are rules you must obey They get re-written by the day Don't do this - don't say that Your every move is logged and tracked By the all oppressive eye Spy satellites in friendly skies The new american century Has only just begun No one exempt from the tragedy Counterattack start pushing back Fight the power That chokes your speech Fight the power That makes you bleed Fight the power That propogates lies To keep you weak Keep you in line Fight the power that reigns you in Divides and conquers Defines your sin Fight the power For one and all Before the power swallows us whole No one dares to say a word Our panic drives all human herds In the land where cash is king Our silence bought and sold for free The future's banging on our door When real I.D. will be the law Love thy neighbor and turn him in It's call patriotism The world is watching in disbelief Chanting shame on you How can you stand by so quietly Letting them rape your liberties You can't be bothered or concerned You see no reason for alarm Prejudice, religion hate Usher in new mandate Absolute and resolved One nation under one god Lack of interest has its price As we're stripped of all our rights Those who cannot learn from history Are doomed to repeat it!
