The Air We Breathe Lyrics - The Suicide Machines

Why do you choose - To walk through life so blind 

Frozen Hearts - And empty minds 

Its everywhere - But we still don't see 

And I blame you - And you blame me 

And everyday - I slowly lose my mind 

And every time - I come up empty 

Something else inside me - Starts to die 

And I'm left - Alone and angry 

It's in the air - That we breathe each day 

It's what we call - the American Way 

It's in the way - That we treat each other 

We segregate - And we fight our brothers 

Why are we raised - To pledge allegiance 

To a flag - That rapes and bleeds us 

And we're all free - Or so we're told 

A country with a corrupted soul 

And evryday - We chase that dream 

With empty eyes - And painted smiles 

And everyday - We wait to die 

Still no one cares - And I'm just as guilty 

It's in the air - That we breathe each day 

It's what we call - the American Way 

It's in the way - That we treat each other 

We segregate - And we fight our brothers 

I only see - What they let me see 

I only do - What they tell me to 

No! - Yeah! 

Don't see - Don't speak - Don't feel - Don't think 

Compassion is a myth 

The sad truth - Is ignorance is bliss 

Cut from a heartless mold 

Stand up - Let the truth be told 

It's in the air - That we breathe each day 

It's what we call - the American Way 

It's in the way - That we treat each other 

We segregate - And we fight our brothers
