Thiry thousand auto workers have gone to work to
find

That they've been downsized form the assembly to
the unemployment line

The employed seeking job security content with
what employers give

Thinning out the job market keeps the workers
competitive

The upper one percent receive the tax breaks,
social program cut's commence

Educational funds take a back seat to America's
defense

These education cuts are an investment in the
prison industry

An occupational restructuring towards a slave
labor economy

The chance of survival on death row
disappears,theirright to appeal is deprived

Worker strength and solidarity depletes with
union officials bribed

Raising taxes to build sports stadiums while the
homeless are ignored

Refusing to supply the health care benefits most
people can't afford

The newly founded citizen review boards' members
are all police

The gap widens between the cost of living and the
inflation increase

Those in power own the media machine it's the
vehicle to their views

They bury all of their corruption under fluff
reported news

They bombard us with statistics to influence
public opinion

The more ridiculous the lie the more people seem
to listen

It's the people with no money that are
responsible for the rest of us being poor

We'll just eliminate the welfare system to even
up the score

Our conditions never imporve no matter how many
programs we stop

The money always seems to circulate back to the
people at the top

The occasionl whining criticisms keep the public
satisfied

The rest are busy escaping reality with drugs the
CIA supplied

It's always the most oppressed who easily fall
victim to ignorance

Even with all that they've been through they
still pledge allegiance

To their country and flag that has caused all of
their grievous pain

Patriotism leads to natonalism which in turn
proceeds to fascism

Poor and working class people are the tools of
sick corporate perseverance

Shit on little puppets exploited in the trials of
human dominance

But still the pride goes on blindly and in
so-called freedom they gloat

Waving the flag but cursing the politicians they
think they elect when they vote

Behind the trails of our peacekeepers lie the
dying and the dead

There are millions of starving chilren that are
waiting to be fed

Because executive orders demand that economic
sanctions are applied

If they'd have bowed down to our pressure, relief
may have just arrived

As the worlds only super power we rule without
regret

We don't let these children survive and grow up
to be a threat

Love of this country is based on nothing but the
fear of living somewhere worse

And gratitude shouldn't be the reaction to
someone else being slaughtered first
