LyricMeaning

The American Way
Sacred Reich

Truth and honor, faith and pride

All convictions surely died

Honesty's time has passed

Time for lies is here at last



Truth is false, I'm so fed up

How did we come to be so fucked

Hate, fear, pain, death

All our country has got left



Talk to children hear them say

Daddy left again today

Brother steals and mommy lies

Future lost before their eyes



The sun was lost behind the clouds

They rapped it up and blacked it out

Acid rain fell today

It came and washed our hopes away



This was once the land of dreams

Now these dreams have turned to greed

In the midst of all this wealth

The poor are left to help themselves



A capitalist's democracy

Why no one said that freedom's free

Lady liberty rots away

No truth, no justice, the American way



Don't look past your TV

All of us are what you see

A looking glass into our lives

What we watch is what we buy



Priorities are out of whack

Who is next to stab our back

Doesn't it make you mad

To have lost all that we've had



This was once the land of dreams

Now these dreams have turned to greed

In the midst of all this wealth

The poor are left to help themselves



A capitalist's democracy

Why no one said that freedom's free

Lady liberty rots away

No truth, no justice, the American way



Doesn't it fill you with disgust

That there's no one left to trust

Is this happening, is this real

My body numb, I cannot feel



Are you happy? Are you sad?

Are emotions a thing of the past

I have no tears, I cannot cry

No one mourns for a world that's died



This was once the land of dreams

Now these dreams have turned to greed

In the midst of all this wealth

The poor are left to help themselves



A capitalist's democracy

Why no one said that freedom's free

Lady liberty rots away

No truth, no justice, the American way
