lyrics

Like and anti-war protester that still showed up to the rally in his loaded SUV
He screams this fight's unjustified in his clothes made overseas
But you know, if we would just listen to those cowards in disguise
who make bad decisions for us so we don't hate our lives

so we can have our products and our open all-night diners and even waste our food!
When right now there's someone starving in a cold, dark ally or a third world country
But guess what? It isn't you.

So that proud man on the megaphone's the same one waging war
He lives his life by owning things and ignoring the poor
To let our veterans be homeless? It's an empty threat in voting
and distract us from distraction like it's empathy promoting

a brand new world with common sense! Like the one we're in's worth saving?
These patriotic imbeciles, all in trucks with flags draped; hanging
Riding down an infrastructure crumbling and broken
The mass of people that all believes it is better when unspoken

I don't represent them but they embody me
From shopping mall to magazine. From shore to oily sea.
It's cognitive dissonance -- A shame in being self-aware
I devolve back to ape, transcend the will to care.

We are trapped in a burning amusement park and it's no longer amusing.
