Screaming of freedom as it slips from our grasp- An empty idealism
drapes from every highway overpass- Chic redneck fashion- Waving their
flags- Mass-produced like their mentalities- Join the witch-hunt on the
"rags"- Scapegoat their olive skin- 9/11 is the catalyst for a backlash
the likes of which we've seen too many times before- I want to see your
blue blood bleed red- You've go the nerve to call yourself compassionate?-
But who funded this terror on which you wage war?- Left and right find
middle ground fighting terror with terror?- Don't you wish you were there
as the houses join hands and sing the battle hymn or the republic?- Rev
up the masses- And this is compassion?- 10,000 dead- Collateral damage in
your war on reality- Manifest destiny under the guise of security- Repave
the terror trail we know all too well with the blood of the world.
