Aus Rotten The Dying and the Dead Lyrics:
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

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
