lyrics

I think we've had it up to here, I think its more than we can take
dishonesty and discontent has become the American way
And when I tell my boy about this country in which we live I want to talk about democracy not corporate sponsorship

Where do you stand on this, these aren't just thin white lies, they tell us, to keep their pockets lined, on the backs of the middle class

Oh beautiful for spacious skies, but we can't see the skies no more, and democracy been replaced by big business, and all that trickles down ain't gold

Its a lie that's been told over and over, on unsuspecting people throughout our time
Believe in God, believe in Kings, believe the stuff that you buy will solve everything

Where do you stand on this, these aren't just thin white lies, they tell us, to keep their pockets lined, on the backs of the middle class

We bought into it all, and we're feeling sick, we don't lift a finger cuz we don't give a shit about anyone, its all for one, its all for me and all that trickles down ain't gold, and its feeling kinda warm

American greed is all that its seems, and our greatest export to the world, and all of the books are rewritten so fast that we no longer remember our past mistakes, and now we're bound to repeat them anyway, ya our past mistakes, I ain't seen no money trickle down on me
