Wake up in your american bed

where you rest your american head

start your car that's american made

Off to work for your american wage

climb the corporate american ladder

to make your wallet american fatter

it doesn't matter who you step on along the way

cuz in america that's the american way

Live to be rich

die to be free

that's the only way it's ever gonna be

living it up while falling down

as long as you're wearing your american crown

Wake up it's off to american school

where you follow all the american rules

got to get the american grade

if you want to pass the test you have to go to college

to be your american best

and if you really want to be all that

you can be you can join the ranks of the american army

molded into cannon fodder for the government democracy

what a joke the great ameri-can't

Coming of age realizing the faults

don't want to be slaves just individuals

I don't need your system or your pots of gold

there's no way I'll ever be an american mold

Something's got to be done to bring down this tyranny

organized manipulation pleads insanity

if you are with me then just join me and my plea

instead of voting for america vote anarchy
