[Verse 1]

Shut your TV off and burn the New York Times

We're living in Revelation Bask in a manufactured sunshine

It’s all a game until people get hurt

Until a man with a bomb and a bag is up in your church

So you got guns to your back with your dick in the dirt

You're zip tied on your knees, your head wrapped in a shirt

It's never been a better time to declare it a red alert

The system of color we’re using ain't never gonna work

We can't afford to pay for schools, there's a reason for that

Driving Humvees, why the fuck don't you lead the attack?

If you're working for the army, then it's cheaper on gasoline

At least the upper class appreciates decreasing attacks

And the relationship of corporations seems to relax

So real life is the evil life behind the Patriot Act

The whole topic only serves to stimulate my cardiac

Before the bomb drops, show me where the motherfucking party's at


[Chorus]

You think the problems are bad?

You don’t got an army shooting their gun at your kids, fucking with the way that you live

Think your problems are bad?

You ain’t getting sent home in a body bag to your mom and dad

You think your problems are bad?

You don't got an army shooting their gun at your kids, fucking with the way that you live

Think your problems are bad?

You ain’t getting sent home to your mom and dad draped in the American flag


[Verse 2]

And you're a casualty of war, if you depress the poor

Whether repressed or slept on, your rights are getting stepped on

No man made band aid for damn sake you can't wait

Drink the liberty lifting gas and now you torch the fan blades

It's best not to let the bad deeds go untreated

Or the wounds that you can’t see, or worse than ones that bleed

Here's your chance, take a stand before it gets to be late

Before the nation's overtaken by your new police state

The man in charge showing off like he's sitting on the handlebar

Acting like he's hard without a single fucking battle scar

I got a new use for the second amendment

We'll use it against him while they up in executive session


[Bridge]

It goes money, cash, hoes, money, cash, hoes

The first two's the only thing that motivates these assholes

X4


[Chorus]

You think the problems are bad?

You don't got an army shooting their gun at your kids, fucking with the way that you live

Think your problems are bad?

You ain't getting sent home in a body bag to your mom and dad

You think your problems are bad?

You don't got an army shooting their gun at your kids, fucking with the way that you live

Think your problems are bad?

You ain't getting sent home to your mom and dad draped in the American flag


[Verse 3]

And the media's supposed to be a watchdog, but now it's a pet

Never bite the hand that feeds it, it's a government check

And the president is supposed to earn our trust and respect

I never trust that fucking fake ass Vietnam vet

I fought more in my life and never aimed a gun at a person

I battle poverty, it only seems the worst

I'ma bring you up to speed on events that's current

They'd rather give you broadband than some health insurance

Social Security is more like a long-term lottery

I don't think I'll live that long with the economy taking the front burner over the moral of honesty

Horrible harmony coming from the throats of the masses

Take the blinders off your high horse, we're kicking our own ass

We need to come together, break free from the past

If we don't look where we're going, then we're certain to crash

It's your m16 and a camouflage party hat


[Chorus]

You think the problems are bad?

You don't got an army shooting their gun at your kids, fucking with the way that you live

Think your problems are bad?

You ain't getting sent home in a body bag to your mom and dad

You think your problems are bad?

You don't got an army shooting their gun at your kids, fucking with the way that you live

Think your problems are bad?

You ain't getting sent home to your mom and dad draped in the American flag


[Outro]

It goes money, cash, hoes, money, cash, hoes

The first two's the only thing that motivates these assholes

X4

Man, fuck this shit

Fucking bullshit
