Lyrics

Why do you choose -
To walk through life so blind
Frozen Hearts -
And empty minds
Its everywhere -
But we still don't see
And I blame you -
And you blame me
And everyday -
I slowly lose my mind
And every time -
I come up empty
Something else inside me -
Starts to die
And I'm left -
Alone and angry
It's in the air -
That we breathe each day
It's what we call - the
American Way
It's in the way -
That we treat each other
We segregate -
And we fight our brothers
Why are we raised -
To pledge allegiance
To a flag -
That rapes and bleeds us
And we're all free -
Or so we're told
A country with a corrupted soul
And evryday -
We chase that dream
With empty eyes -
And painted smiles
And everyday -
We wait to die
Still no one cares -
And I'm just as guilty
It's in the air -
That we breathe each day
It's what we call - the
American Way
It's in the way -
That we treat each other
We segregate -
And we fight our brothers
I only see -
What they let me see
I only do -
What they tell me to
No! - Yeah!
Don't see -
Don't speak -
Don't feel -
Don't think
Compassion is a myth
The sad truth -
Is ignorance is bliss
Cut from a heartless mold
Stand up -
Let the truth be told
It's in the air -
That we breathe each day
It's what we call - the
American Way
It's in the way -
That we treat each other
We segregate -
And we fight our brothers
