They made us pledge allegiance
Recite each and every line
They just failed to mention
It was bullshit the whole time
All flags were made for burning
And that's just what they'll do
Eventually, they all come down
And yours will too
We don't owe them anything
They owe us their lives
They exist to keep us struggling
They make me want to die
They lie, extort, and cheat and steal
They make up phony crimes
To make us all potential criminals
That pay them endless fines
They outsourced our jobs to sweat shops
Filled our water full of lead
They foreclosed on our homes
They won't stop until we're dead
They shoot us in the street,
Because that's what tyrants do
But eventually, they all come down
And this one will too
I don't care about your laws
They don't determine right and wrong
You murder your own citizens
You're no better than Saddam
Your schools rewrote history
And pumped it full of lies
You fed us pharmaceuticals
Stole the best years of our lives
Won't someone tell me why?
Will someone tell me lies?
Does it even matter why?
Someone tell me why.
For vengeance, I will try
For vengeance, I will try
