Damnnation

Purple mountains, fruited plains

we all see what we want to see

all I see is gray after election day

'cause nothing really appeals to me

Is silence just convenient or just the lack of nerve?

Then politics is used against those it's supposed to serve

what use is education if you don't get the point

Intolerance preserves integrity

but where to stop drawing the line?

the banner of hate against the treason you see

is definitely not mine

Armed with the bible blinded by the right takes on attack

rhetoric for the middle class "let's get the country back!"

Back from what from where? Every four years the same old crap

Why should I pledge allegiance to the flag?

The horsemen of the moral apocalypse

whose armor's too thick for them to see

cripple us all when religion becomes

the backbone of democracy

Don't think common sense will go away without a fight

your religious values never held up well in light

hypocrisy thickens the farther you go right

Why should I trust one nation under god?

Hands are tied while corporations thrive

there's something shadowing the state

can't you realize where the real threat lies

when the interests, not ideals are at stake

The unthinkable scenario can be bred out of fear

the military warns the president not to interfere

your last mistake would be to think it can not happen here

The damnnation joke's on us...
