self-righteous left

I never thought I’d live to see the day when the right wing would become the cool ones giving the middle finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the sniveling self-righteous twatty ones going around shaming everyone.

open your eyes

 

Video games train the kids for war
Army chic in high-fashion stores
Law and order's done their job
Prisons filled while the rich still rob

Assassination politics
Violence rules within our nation's midst
Ignorance is their power tool
You'll only know what they want you to know

The television cannot lie
Controlling media with smokescreen eyes
Nuclear politicians picture show
The acting's lousy, but the blind don't know

 

Open your eyes, see the lies right in front of you
Open your eyes....



They scare us all with threats of war
So we forget just how bad things are
You taste the fear when you're all alone
They gonna get you when you're on your own

The silence of conspiracy
Slaughtered on the altar of apathy
You gotta wake up from your sleep
'Cause meek inherits earth six feet deep
