lyrics

You're running off your mouth; on the sweet sound of indiscretion. Welcome to the world this american transgression. Here's what it says to me: we'd save your life, but can't afford it. If you want to be safe, do exactly what we tell you. Walk hand in hand with our imaginary friend or face a darkness that never ends. Yeah, we want you to be frightened, what to keep you up at night, because if you do want you want to, our weakness comes to light. There's one part of you still left to sell. You should just stop thinking, because it hurts like hell. Just become one of the numbers. You won't have to try. Just agree that this is freedom and we'll all see eye-to-eye. So communities tune in to receive their daily dosage of life, the way "they" want it perceived. They've the privileged few and they know what's good for you. Now, back to our continuing coverage of the search that never ends. There's a scapegoat out there somewhere that we must befriend, then turn our backs on and gracefully ascend to a greatness not yet witnessed. One you shall not question, but accede to and so faithfully defend. That's the history of my country I'm not supposed to see. I'm ashamed to be an american, where nothing comes for free. We extend ourselves so quickly, just to look good on TV. Burn what once bridged the gap between rhetoric and reality. Who in the world would ever want that? There's one part of me I could never sell. I won't stop thinking, even when it hurts like hell. There's not always strength in numbers; sometimes numbers lie. Sometimes common sense is neglected when we turn a blind eye. What the world needs now is to wave goodbye to u.s. We still don't see it coming, but we've leaving, much faster than we came. Everybody welcome the ending of our time.
