LyricMeaning

The Dying And The Dead
Aus Rotten

Thiry thousand auto workers have gone to work to find

That they've been downsized form the assembly to the unemployment line

The employed seeking job security content with what employers give

Thinning out the job market keeps the workers competitive

The upper one percent receive the tax breaks, social program cut's commence

Educational funds take a back seat to America's defense

These education cuts are an investment in the prison industry

An occupational restructuring towards a slave labor economy

The chance of survival on death row disappears,theirright to appeal is deprived

Worker strength and solidarity depletes with union officials bribed

Raising taxes to build sports stadiums while the homeless are ignored

Refusing to supply the health care benefits most people can't afford

The newly founded citizen review boards' members are all police

The gap widens between the cost of living and the inflation increase

Those in power own the media machine it's the vehicle to their views

They bury all of their corruption under fluff reported news

They bombard us with statistics to influence public opinion

The more ridiculous the lie the more people seem to listen

It's the people with no money that are responsible for the rest of us being poor

We'll just eliminate the welfare system to even up the score

Our conditions never imporve no matter how many programs we stop

The money always seems to circulate back to the people at the top

The occasionl whining criticisms keep the public satisfied

The rest are busy escaping reality with drugs the CIA supplied

It's always the most oppressed who easily fall victim to ignorance

Even with all that they've been through they still pledge allegiance

To their country and flag that has caused all of their grievous pain

Patriotism leads to natonalism which in turn proceeds to fascism

Poor and working class people are the tools of sick corporate perseverance

Shit on little puppets exploited in the trials of human dominance

But still the pride goes on blindly and in so-called freedom they gloat

Waving the flag but cursing the politicians they think they elect when they vote

Behind the trails of our peacekeepers lie the dying and the dead

There are millions of starving chilren that are waiting to be fed

Because executive orders demand that economic sanctions are applied

If they'd have bowed down to our pressure, relief may have just arrived

As the worlds only super power we rule without regret

We don't let these children survive and grow up to be a threat

Love of this country is based on nothing but the fear of living somewhere worse

And gratitude shouldn't be the reaction to someone else being slaughtered first
