The American Way lyrics
by Kataklysm
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 f*cked
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
