lyrics
I pledge allegiance to the flag which stands for all that we once were
The labor slaves in unseen chains capitalism indentured
The media controls our lives and shoves its blackwhite down our throats
With justice blind and full of shit, the highest bidder gets the votes
Life, liberty and happiness while living in these walls of glass
America has shoved the Constitution up its bleeding ass
Security is tantamount and we are always watching you
You citizens cannot be trusted, my campaign's here, please contribute
Shit is as shit does and we're doing our best
Let's piss on our standards, put patriotism to the test
Shit is as shit does and we're fueled by your fear
As is simply because I smell revolution here
The labor slaves in unseen chains capitalism indentured
The media controls our lives and shoves its blackwhite down our throats
With justice blind and full of shit, the highest bidder gets the votes
Life, liberty and happiness while living in these walls of glass
America has shoved the Constitution up its bleeding ass
Security is tantamount and we are always watching you
You citizens cannot be trusted, my campaign's here, please contribute
Shit is as shit does and we're doing our best
Let's piss on our standards, put patriotism to the test
Shit is as shit does and we're fueled by your fear
As is simply because I smell revolution here
