Living in the wasteland of the free... | |
We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines | |
and their speech is growing increasingly unkind | |
They say they are Christ's disciples | |
but they don't look like Jesus to me | |
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
We got politicians running races on corporate cash | |
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass | |
You may call me old-fashioned | |
but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy | |
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay | |
but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage | |
and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job | |
to some third-world country 'cross the sea | |
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
Living in the wasteland of the free | |
where the poor have now become the enemy | |
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones | |
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy | |
Living in the wasteland of the free | |
We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars | |
So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors | |
and we call ourselves the advanced civilization | |
that sounds like crap to me | |
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
We got high-school kids running 'round in Calvin Klein and Guess | |
who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test | |
but if you ask them, they can tell you | |
the name of every crotch on mTV | |
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win | |
Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin | |
but he's standing up for what he believes in | |
and that seems pretty damned American to me | |
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
Living in the wasteland of the free | |
where the poor have now become the enemy | |
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones | |
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy | |
Living in the wasteland of the free | |
While we sit gloating in our greatness | |
justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea | |
Living in the wasteland of the free | |
Living in the wasteland of the free | |
Living in the wasteland of the free |
