helenistic heathenism
brought on by the freedom's slave
tell me how to free the people
a giant nation's knave
bombs away and have a drink
don't you know it's the american way?
don't you know it's the american way?
fighting for democracy
dictators inside you and me
bow down
bow down
bow down
and kiss the glove
watch the news and come unglued
another world another problem
a third world
on third base
now it's loaded
blown up in our face
why fight for freedom
we have nothing
fight for justice
we don't have the luxury
what the fuck is evil
what the fuck is fate
loving to learn
learning to hate
television barbarism
fighting for our righteous cause
wait a minute, don't forget it
set our lives to pause
so we can bow down
bown down
kiss the glove
bend to the nation
suffer the chains
a simple lie
is a simple high
so powerful is love
