Rebel Fate

Eager to burn old glory

But the colors are too faded

I've been abandoned by america

Or have I betrayed it?

We plant freedom in a foreign land

But you can't reap the rights we've sown

With a working man's hand

You don't have the body

Quite like you used to

Before the military commissions act

Was voted through

and process is due to you

But when you're charged with nothing

In the system there's nothing that you can do

We are a new rome and we cross a rubicon

And back at home the republic's all gone

As we wait for smoke to clear

What else do we have to fear?

I went neighborhooh walking

And street corner talking

To call my people to action

But there's no stopping them from shopping

Somebody slammed a door in my face

Somebody said I'm with you

But it's too late to save this place

And he said I was once like you

And I used to protest too

But the powers that be are too great

So walk away from your rebel fate
