Aftermath of all our progress, and we ate up the lies.
Society regresses, we are fucking hypnotized.
Another fixed election, incoming genocide.
Hundreds watching, while millions more starve tonight.
No one has learned, mistakes made so that all can see.
History repeats another broken ideology.
Shattered country united in the wake of tragedy.
Separation, racial tension, our countries blasphemy.
Don't claim to be proud of what you've become,
your country as a whole.
Because freedom isn't freedom if your back's against a wall.
Stand tall. Revolt. Undermine them all.
You're has no value, you simply do as your told.
Equality was the foundation, but slavery is what were sold.
Broken dreams of emancipation, thrown out in this dying generation.
Any form of civil justice has no true retention
Profiteering puppeteers pulling strings in all directions.
Just more victims of good intentions.
Forced labor of the poor built this nation.
But the rules were never stated.
By the same labors, the fascistic powers will be overtaken.
Don't claim to be proud of what you've become,
your country as a whole.
Because freedom isn't freedom if your back's against a wall.
Stand tall. Revolt. Undermine them all.
You're has no value, you simply do as your told.
Equality was the foundation, but slavery is what were sold.
Broken dreams of emancipation, thrown out in this dying generation.
Any form of civil justice has no true retention
It's stayed the same, through years without growth nothings changed.
Were taught to always point the finger, no second thought of whose to blame
But these ways can't last forever.
This country can't hide it's shame.
Lady Liberty weeps alone, as her country digs it's fucking grave
The system was never broken. It was built this way.
