A.D. |
| I don’t want this dream or the grievance it brings |
| Can’t justify greed at the cost of equality |
| Tangled in endless archaic chains of power, profit, gain |
| What about the poor bearing poverty’s marks |
| What about the sick whose lives are torn apart |
| What about those whose rights aren’t respected |
| A nation of youth dejected |
| It’s time to rethink this dream you call American |
| Corrupt beliefs, that some will call their heritage |
| A burdened soul once searching for liberty |
| Crowned in debt as the new face of slavery |
| Died by design with a senseless hope and a never ending rope |
| What about the leaders abusing authority |
| Corrupt moral compass guarded bureaucracy |
| What about those who died so we can live our complacency |
| Must end |
| It’s time to rethink this dream you call American |
| Corrupt beliefs, that some will call their heritage |
| This dream can’t be, what it used to be, ever again |
| Spirits of the slain hiding in the corners of my mind |
| Screaming when I kneel to look inside |
| Stomach fucking turning and now it’s disconcerting |
| Fight fire with fire you’ll see everyone’s burning |
| Turn on the TV for the murder spree |
| Get distracted while they take your civil liberty |
| Thoughts and prayers again, is that what it’ll take? |
| Which industries profit while lives are at stake |
| Now hear the media fools discuss the killer’s mind |
| Starring at the screen to tell us what they find |
| Manifesto, dollar, worship get on your knees |
| So they can sell us a cure for the American disease |
| It’s time to rethink this dream that they call American |
| Corrupt system of beliefs, some will call their heritage |
| It’s time to rethink this dream that they call American |
| So one day it can mean something real again |
