Aus Rotten - The Dying And The Dead Lyrics
Thiry thousand auto workers have gone to work to findThat they've been downsized form the assembly to the unemployment lineThe employed seeking job security content with what employers giveThinning out the job market keeps the workers competitiveThe upper one percent receive the tax breaks, social program cut's commenceEducational funds take a back seat to America's defenseThese education cuts are an investment in the prison industryAn occupational restructuring towards a slave labor economyThe chance of survival on death row disappears,theirright to appeal is deprivedWorker strength and solidarity depletes with union officials bribedRaising taxes to build sports stadiums while the homeless are ignoredRefusing to supply the health care benefits most people can't affordThe newly founded citizen review boards' members are all policeThe gap widens between the cost of living and the inflation increaseThose in power own the media machine it's the vehicle to their viewsThey bury all of their corruption under fluff reported newsThey bombard us with statistics to influence public opinionThe more ridiculous the lie the more people seem to listenIt's the people with no money that are responsible for the rest of us being poorWe'll just eliminate the welfare system to even up the scoreOur conditions never imporve no matter how many programs we stopThe money always seems to circulate back to the people at the topThe occasionl whining criticisms keep the public satisfiedThe rest are busy escaping reality with drugs the CIA suppliedIt's always the most oppressed who easily fall victim to ignoranceEven with all that they've been through they still pledge allegianceTo their country and flag that has caused all of their grievous painPatriotism leads to natonalism which in turn proceeds to fascismPoor and working class people are the tools of sick corporate perseveranceShit on little puppets exploited in the trials of human dominanceBut still the pride goes on blindly and in so-called freedom they gloatWaving the flag but cursing the politicians they think they elect when they voteBehind the trails of our peacekeepers lie the dying and the deadThere are millions of starving chilren that are waiting to be fedBecause executive orders demand that economic sanctions are appliedIf they'd have bowed down to our pressure, relief may have just arrivedAs the worlds only super power we rule without regretWe don't let these children survive and grow up to be a threatLove of this country is based on nothing but the fear of living somewhere worseAnd gratitude shouldn't be the reaction to someone else being slaughtered first
