It's been three hundred years, and a country built On violence greed, guns and fear. The people Europe didn't want, They sent 'em here. And so began the line of genocide and slavery Now we call them pioneers. They built the two party democracy The laissez-faire economy The grand way of saying that the law of the land Still stands. 'Cause you don't have to be a Harvard man To understand that the rules are being written by the upper hand. {{CHORUS}} America the beautiful, Lost in a dream. Wake up, wake up my darlin' I wanna hear you scream. We love our gangster mythology Billy the Kid Bonnie and Clyde on a deathwish Ridin' through the countryside Robbin' banks and takin' lives Runnin' like they'll never die Guess it's no surprise those are the heroes in the public eye. Just look at the other side The bankers, the lawyers it don't matter which 'cause if you're shootin' for the money, join mercenary army of the rich. *CHORUS* We're waging war without apology Guam, Vietnam, Iraq And when you trace it back You hear the Trail of Tears And see the media steer opinion 'til the public screams, Attack. What were you supposed to think? You read it white and black. It's the TV reality Four point three hours a day what advertisers pay to say becomes the new normality for the nation in sedation an entire generation slouched back on the couch eatin' snacks and flippin' stations. *CHORUS* *MUSIC INTERLUDE* You gotta free yourself Ride West, son stake your claim Learn the rules, reinvent the game And the human race runnin' for the money and the fame We The People lie and cheat, steal and pass the blame. Act like friends, chat like friends, love like friends Until you try to shame my name. But I keep on track, I smile right back. I don't lose a beat, 'cause the facts remain: I started singin' in the city on the street From the bottom of the chain Long enough, now I laugh My clothes can't stain So when we meet, keep it neat Take a seat, You can't beat the game I maintain on this runaway train. *CHORUS* *CHORUS* (Thanks to Julie for these lyrics)
