Portray an image of power and security 
Foundations crumble at the base 
Inner turmoil reflection read externally 
Veil of lies attempts to hide our face 
Descend Molten masses in their image we are a formed 
Art of deception mastered skillfully 
Decay of value stifled cry of the unborn 
With open eyes we still refuse to see 
Respond arise nation divided 
Selfish syringe draining lifeblood from our veins 
Pallid skin displays condition true 
Struggling on oblivious to our own pain 
Contented smile as we continue to descend "We've got ... once and for all on a global basis." "Have the hostage story blow up in our face." "We've got big economic problems but we are not coming apart at the seems." "The decline of the urban America stems from the decline of the American family." "We're the United States." "Atomic bomb" "We are all responsible for this."
