The American Way Lyrics - Singles - 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
