lyrics

Illuminate the dunes of deceit
Excavate the ruins of meaning
Breathe, Breathe the sulfuric breeze
Drink deep petroleum seas


Feel the tame rage
shame in the body
rewrite the brain like a blank page
or put another faceless baby in a nameless grave
Hey, why not?
The world is your video game!
Let the children play
Recruiting for a new crusade
in their name

Welcome to the U S of A
We're bombing innocents in your name
and locking little kids in a cage
The world's gonna end anyday
if we don't change our ways

assimilate!
or you're coming with me!
See! See! the diamonds are violence
silencing sirens with grief
who's free?
cyclical prisons insist freedom is greed

my identity's a fashion statement in a fascist state

so watch what you say
go and get an education
never mind the interest rate you can't pay

welcome to the information age
they're watching you so watch what you say
your secrets are safe with the surveillance state
but who needs COINTELPRO when you have facebook?

Living the American dream
forty hour week and you can't afford to eat
you could lose your cool and kill a billionaire in the street
but could you keep history from repeating?

change our ways
cus the world's gonna end anyday
we can't wait
