American pride is motivated by fear
Manipulated by the dictor we have yet to overthrow
Lies pushed into our heads
Into our children's heads
Its a conspiracy and we're helpless
Chained to the freedom that's been forced on us
People are afraid to be themselves
To stand up for themselves
Be Someone different
People bit off your head if you say
Something different
And when they see something wrong
They won't tell anyone else
Then they get on me for doin the right thing
Cause I've got guts for havin my say
In this land of the free and home of the brave
We give money to the foreign killers
And prisoners live the life of luxury
Kids droppin out and livin on the streets
Seelin drugs, makin love for a cheap price
(How Nice)
And kids killin kids cause people not reachin out
And seein what the chaos is really about
They have a chance
But ignore it without a second glance
Guns in every other household
Put there to keep you warm
But they'll make you cold
And ignorant devotion
In this wonderful land between two oceans
With neighbors to our north and a few down douth
Yet we're so isolated to the reality that sits
Infront of us
LOOK AT US
Clingin onto freedom that we don't have
Never had
It's too sad
Fathers rapin daughters
Throwin blows at their wife
Hatred never seems to die
Teens reachin for the sky
Screamin "I need a new life! Help Me!"
Crisis after Crisis
So many people dyin
They don't show it on the news
So its like it never happens
Kids know more than the older generation
But they'll never know
Cause they refuse to listen
I feel like I'm the only one that's havin my say
In this land of the free and home of the brave
