Hatebreed

This dream can't be

What it used to be, ever again

I don't want this dream or the grievance it brings

Can't justify greed at the cost of equality

Tangled in endless archaic chains

Of power, profit, gain

What about the poor bearing poverty's marks

What about the sick whose lives are torn apart

What about those whose rights aren't respected

A nation of youth dejected

It's time to rethink this dream you call American

Corrupt beliefs, that some will call their heritage

A burdened soul once searching for liberty

Crowned in debt as the new face of slavery

Died by design with a senseless hope

And a never ending rope

What about the leaders abusing authority

Corrupt moral compass guarded bureaucracy

What about those who died so we can live our complacency must end

It's time to rethink this dream you call American

Corrupt beliefs, that some will call their heritage

This dream can't be

What it used to be, ever again

Spirits of the slain hiding in the corners of my mind

Screaming when I kneel to look inside

Stomach fucking turning and now it's disconcerting

Fight fire with fire you'll see everyone's burning

Turn on the TV for the murder spree

Get distracted while they take your civil liberty

Thoughts and prayers again, is that what it'll take?

Which industries profit while lives are at stake

Now hear the media fools discuss the killer's mind

Starring at the screen to tell us what they find

Manifesto, dollar, worship get on your knees

So they can sell us a cure for the American disease

It's time to rethink this dream that they call American

Corrupt system of beliefs, some will call their heritage

It's time to rethink this dream that they call American

So one day it can mean something real again
