An American, in American crosshairs Rights, well I guess they lost theirs Executive orders coming down Our forefathers could not foresee These wrongs in the name of security The US constitutions run aground... Theyve got secret machines And satellites with laser beams And no ones getting out of here alive One assassination under god The stars and stripes his calling card Yeah you can run, theres sure no place to hide... Getting scared again, guess thats just a cross borne free But liberty will cost more One match and the next amendments set ablaze An American, target on his back Bound to the sound of a rifles crack And all that weve believed has been betrayed... They call it heresy, all based on hearsay Lies, propaganda and a healthy dose of fear Makes it hard to want to testify on his behalf Theyve redesigned the lines of the battlefield Truth not a stock showing profit yield Green light the kill shot, damn the aftermath... Secret machines, philistines with full magazines Another regime so pristine on your tv screen Congress convenes, they send in the marines And they stifle the screams, its the same old routine From American dreams comes a nightmarish scene And the freedom to be goes head down on the guillotine We must intervene, if we dont come between They will never come clean, and this cant be redeemed
