I can here the jackboots again

Although I'm not in Nazi Germany

And I'm not in Red China



These are iraqos in my Home-Land

They're every value un-American

A spit in the face to the authors of the Constitution!



[Chorus]

These are ugly days, ugly times, ugly words

From lies and disinformation ignorance is born

Can you smell the hatred being bred from fear?

And dont you understand that when you give your rights away

There is no freedom left to die for?

Where has my country gone?!?!



Can't see the similarities

Can't disern reality

'Cause when you're awake you're still dreaming!

Dreaming in the mall and in the shops of 5th Avenue

In endless choices of fashion accessories

Drowning euphoria in a sea of gluttony



dive in deep now - these drugs are legal

dive in deep now - these drugs they are even encouraged - advertised!

Dive in deep now - no need to fear global corporations

Dive in deep now - let the pain, blood, and tears of sweatshop workers lull you to sleep...



Or you canlook to the alternative

turn from the conservative

The backward facist

like prospectives

they saved us by enslaving us!

Strips our rights away

with no guarantee of improved Homeland Security

Who's gaining from these policies?

The American people? Or those looking to abuse their authority?
