The world in 

Which we live
Is but a dream
Within a dream
Within a nightmare
Those in charge

Try their hardest
To make sure
We never see
Running our country
With nothing but lies

Behind smoke screens
As they gamble
And sell away our lives 
All for power 

And dollar signs
Choosing who
Lives or dies
Favoring the

Corrupt and rich
Over the honest
And poor
Who end up
Victims and in
The end statistics
Of yet another war
Started by lies

To further line

The pockets
Of those sitting pretty
In Washington
Counting money

While our loved ones

They merely claim
To care about

We are burying
Something 

Has to give here
It's about damn time

America

That we awoke

From the dream
Realized the nightmare
Fought back
And for once

Gave the bastards
Responsible

Something to fear
