lyrics

SET A FIRE TO THE EARTH AND SNUGGLE UP IN THE ASHES.
A BLANKET MADE OF BURNT FLESH WITH SCARS FROM THE LASHES.
SWAPPING TONGUES WITH THE CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR ACTIONS.
PULL THEM PANTIES DOWN AND FUCKING RAPE THIS BOOK FULL OF MATCHES.
WE DON'T NEED NO WATER LET THE MOTHERFUCKER BURN.
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. LET THESE MOTHERFUCKERS LEARN.
THAT THEIR KIDS ARE IN THE GUTTER DEEP THROATING YOUR DREAMS
SO TAKE NOTES WHO SWALLOWS MOST AND MAKE THEM PART OF YOUR TEAM.
THE MEMOS OUT BUT I GUESS YOU HAVEN'T GOT IT.
HISTORY REPEATS BECAUSE THE PAST STAYS FORGOTTEN.
CUMSHOT BABY. WATCH THEM SQUIRT IT OUT.
YEAH, CATCH THAT PEARL NECKLACE AND WEAR IT PROUD.

HOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL. LAND OF THE BRAVE.
HOME OF THE WORKING CLASS. LAND OF THE SLAVE.
TELL ME IS THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL THE AMERICAN DREAM?
TELL ME IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL YOUR AMERICAN DREAM?
HOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL. LAND OF THE BRAVE.
HOME OF THE WORKING CLASS. LAND OF THE SLAVE.
AND IF THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL THE AMERICAN DREAM
CHOKE ME UNTIL I WAKE. UNTIL I CAN'T BREATHE.

DRINKING TOO MUCH. I'M GOING TO BE SICK.
DRUNK OFF EAGLE'S BLOOD. CALL US PATRIOTIC.

SWALLOW, WE'VE SWALLOWED, WE'VE SWALLOWED THEIR TRENDS.
MASKED IN THEIR FASHIONS, SO EASY TO BEND.
YOU GOTTA FIT THE MOLD TO TO WIN THEIR QUEST FOR GOLD.
YEAH, BUT WE'RE BREAKING OUR FINGERS JUST TO MAINTAIN THE HOLD.
STOLEN, YOU'VE STOLEN, YOU'VE STOLEN OUR DREAMS.
BRANDED WITH BARCODES. WE HAVE BECOME MACHINES.
IN THIS NINE TO FIVE YOU GOTTA NICKEL AND DIME
JUST TO FOLLOW THE LEADER AND KEEP PLACE IN THEIR LINE.
WE ALL STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM DOESN’T COME VERY CHEAP.
ENDLESS DAYS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
BUT I'M NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

HOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL. LAND OF THE BRAVE.
HOME OF THE WORKING CLASS. LAND OF THE SLAVE.
TELL ME IS THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL THE AMERICAN DREAM?
TELL ME IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL YOUR AMERICAN DREAM?
HOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL. LAND OF THE BRAVE.
HOME OF THE WORKING CLASS. LAND OF THE SLAVE.
AND IF THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL THE AMERICAN DREAM
CHOKE ME UNTIL I WAKE. UNTIL I CAN'T BREATHE.

WE WANT TO GROW UP BUT WE DON’T WANT TO GROW OLD.
WE WANT TO LIVE FREE BUT WE DON’T WANT TO LIVE POOR.

HOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL. LAND OF THE BRAVE.
HOME OF THE WORKING CLASS. LAND OF THE SLAVE.
AND IF WE COULD ONLY SEE WOULD WE BELIEVE
THAT THE MEN WHO WE HAVE GROWN TO BE NO LONGER BREATHE?

HOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL. LAND OF THE BRAVE.
HOME OF THE WORKING CLASS. LAND OF THE SLAVE.
TELL ME IS THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL THE AMERICAN DREAM?
TELL ME IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL YOUR AMERICAN DREAM?
HOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL. LAND OF THE BRAVE.
HOME OF THE WORKING CLASS. LAND OF THE SLAVE.
AND IF THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL THE AMERICAN DREAM
CHOKE ME UNTIL I WAKE. UNTIL I CAN'T BREATHE.

TIGHTEN THE NOOSE UNTIL I CAN'T BREATHE.

WE WANT TO GROW UP BUT WE DON’T WANT TO GROW OLD.
WE WANT TO LIVE FREE BUT WE DON’T WANT TO LIVE POOR.
AND IF THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL THE AMERICAN DREAM
CHOKE ME UNTIL I WAKE. UNTIL I CAN'T BREATHE.
