    Lyrics/Letras:
    Truth and honor, faith and pride
    All convictions surely died
    Honesty's time has passed
    Time for lies is here at last
    Truth is false, I'm so fed up
    How did we come to be so fucked
    Hate, fear, pain, death
    All our country has got left
    Talk to children hear them say
    Daddy left again today
    Brother steals and mommy lies
    Future lost before their eyes
    The sun was lost behind the clouds
    They rapped it up and blacked it out
    Acid rain fell today
    It came and washed our hopes away
    This was once the land of dreams
    Now these dreams have turned to greed
    In the midst of all this wealth
    The poor are left to help themselves
    A capitalist's democracy
    Why no one said that freedom's free
    Lady liberty rots away
    No truth, no justice, the American way
    Don't look past your TV
    All of us are what you see
    A looking glass into our lives
    What we watch is what we buy
    Priorities are out of whack
    Who is next to stab our back
    Doesn't it make you mad
    To have lost all that we've had
    This was once the land of dreams
    Now these dreams have turned to greed
    In the midst of all this wealth
    The poor are left to help themselves
    A capitalist's democracy
    Why no one said that freedom's free
    Lady liberty rots away
    No truth, no justice, the American way
    Doesn't it fill you with disgust
    That there's no one left to trust
    Is this happening, is this real
    My body numb, I cannot feel
    Are you happy? Are you sad?
    Are emotions a thing of the past
    I have no tears, I cannot cry
    No one mourns for a world that's died
    This was once the land of dreams
    Now these dreams have turned to greed
    In the midst of all this wealth
    The poor are left to help themselves
    A capitalist's democracy
    Why no one said that freedom's free
    Lady liberty rots away
    No truth, no justice, the American way
