lyrics

We've got to examine what we believe
It's time to take control
We've got to question the lies we accept
It's time to take control

Some people cry for a revolution
Some people seek mediocrity
How can we work as one
to create a better society

(Is it all)
Is it all we can do
(to believe)
to accept everything we see

We've all been hypnotized
Into thinking there's someone on our side
We've all lost our rights
Land of the free now that a lie

We're tired of their lies
We've got to demand the truth
I would rather die than
Accept all as fact

All their efforts to create
A reality where they are right
Overlooking all our needs
But still they send our troop to fight

Scream it from the top of your lungs
If you don't condone the things they've done
You're not on your own

Land of the free; it's the land of greed
Scripted realities and full blown lies
Designed to play on all your fears
Designed to convince you they are right
