United in fear we trade freedom, our prize
For the Patriot Act as united we securitize
United in power over patriarchy we misogynize
United in self-righteous arrogance we imperialize
United in degenerate genital mutilation we circumcise
United we consume and spend and united we capitalize
United in greed we exploit as united we multinationalize
United we commit economic suicide as united we globalize
United in belligerent violence we waste trillions as united we militarize
United we massacre millions and think we're so brave united we fantasize
United we bomb, destroy, maim, mass murder, slaughter and terrorize
United in massive denial we look the other way as united we atrocitize
United in might makes right we dominate and united we hegemonize
United we pillage the third world and then united we moralize
United we covet their resources and united we monopolize
United in total denial we deny that united we brutalize
United we believe without question the star-spangled propaganda our leaders so unceasingly televise
And united we so very obediently swallow the many fabricated red, white and blue lies
And united we're so blind with closed eyes except wide-eyed Ashcroft spies
And in the many resource-rich countries that united we occupy and we colonize
And united we impoverish and victimize
Yet another corporate billion has pride
And yet another heartbroken mother cries
And yet another star-spangled bomb drops
And yet another innocent child hideously dies
Yet another example of how united we collateralize
Just U.S. business as usual as united we privatize
United we stand completely deranged to global terrorists in our freedom and democracy disguise as united we stand pathetic and complicit in American terrorism as united we turn on TV to desensitize as united we stand in massive denial as united we ignore the pleas of the innocent ones we exterminize as united we stand inanely pledging allegiance to the flag of fascist terrorism as their blood on it dries as united we stand surrendering our freedom to the real axis of evil corporation CIA and military guise as united we stand with our heads in the sand as the American Fourth Reich is born and freedom dies as united we stand so comfortably numb and deniably dumb that united we don't have sense to realize that united we stand on the brink of the New World Order totalitarian police state. United we are so blind.
