The American Way

we all see, we all hear, we all say, we all see what you want us to see 

we all hear what you want us to hear 

we all say what you want us to say 

fear keeps us blind to the truth 

truth and justice 

the american way 

honor and pride what do you have to say 

honesty is a thing of the past 

we are products of the big machine 

unknowing victims to the fascist regime 

kept off guard through propaganda 

no one to blame but ourselves 

now these dreams have turned to greed 

a price we pay for being free 

this is the place where dreams are made 

we all see, we all hear, we all say, we all see what you want us to see 

we all hear what you want us to hear 

wealth is the minority 

the rest live in poverty 

how can we just let this be? 

this is called democracy
