We pledge allegiance to the Stars and the Stripes We elect leaders who abuse our rights Behind the constitution they hide their face to disguise their guilty conscience and their disgrace I stand looking over the land of the free but when I look at my country I can't believe what I see CHORUS There's no such thing as the land of the free See it in the papers, schools, and t.v. Still you say that you don't believe but I'm not a fool, I won't be a tool Side with them and we'll get you This land was built -thru your forefather's sweat and blood All they got in return was hate and distrust Decaying wasteland from sea to shining sea The slums get bigger, they turn their backs on our needs Brother against brother, they fill our minds with hate Fueling the flames until it blows up in their face CHORUS Do you still believe in the American dream a white picket fence and a happy family We're all blinded by the images that they feed But when the drugs wear off, where will we be? The decadence within, the beginning of the end The empire falls and the vultures descend CHORUS
