Stars and Stripes of Corruption - Live at the Farm

Finally got to Washington
 In the middle of the night
 I couldn't wait, I headed straight for the Capitol Mall
 My heart began to pound
 Yahoo, it really exists
 The American International Pictures logo
 I looked up at that Capitol building
 Couldn't help but wonder why
 I felt like saying "Hello, old friend"
 Walked up the hill to touch it
 Then I unzipped my pants
 And pissed on it when nobody was looking
 Like a great eternal Klansman
 With his two flashing red eyes
 Turn around, he's always watching
 The Washington Monument pricks the sky
 Flags for pubic hair ringed 'round the bottom
 The symbols of our heritage
 Lit up proudly in the night
 Somehow fits to see the homeless people passed out on the lawn
 So this is where it happens
 The power games and the bribes
 All lobbying for a piece of ass
 Of the stars and stripes of corruption
 Makes me feel so ashamed
 To be an American
 When we're too stuck up to learn from our mistakes
 Trying to start another Vietnam
 Like fiddling while Rome burns at home
 The boss says "you're laid off, blame the Japanese"
 America's back, alright
 At the game it plays the worst
 Strip mining the world like a slave plantation
 No wonder others hate us
 And the Hitlers we handpick
 To bleed their people dry for our evil empire
 He drug we're fed to make us like it
 Is God and country with a bang
 People we know who should know better
 Howl "America rules, let's go to war!"
 Business scams are what's worth dying for, fuck!
 But are the Soviets our worst enemy?
 We're destroying ourselves instead
 Who cares about our civil rights as long as I get paid
 The blind me-generation
 Doesn't care if life's a lie
 So easily used, so proud to enforce
 The stars and stripes of corruption
 Let's bring it all down
 Let's bring it all down
 Let's bring it all down, down, down, down, down, down, down
 Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
 Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
 Tell me who's the real patriots
 The Archie Bunker slobs waving flags
 Or the people with the guts to work for some real change?
 Rednecks and bombs don't make us strong
 We loot the world, yet we can't even feed ourselves
 Our real test of strength is caring
 Not the war toys we sell the world
 Just carry on, thankful to be farmed like worms
 Old glory for a blanket as you suck on your thumbs
 Real freedom scares you 'cause it means responsibility
 So you chicken out and threaten me
 Saying, "love it or leave it"
 I'll get beat up if I criticize it
 You say you'll fight to the death to save your useless flag
 If you want a banana republic that bad
 Why don't you go move to one?
 But what can just one of us do
 Against all that money and power trying to crush us into roaches?
 We won't destroy society in a day
 Until we change ourselves first from the inside out
 We can start by not lying so much and treating other people like dirt
 It's so easy not to base our lives on how much we can scam
 And you know it feels good to lift that monkey off our back
 I'm thankful I live in a place
 Where I can say the things I do
 Without being taken out and shot
 So I'm on guard against the goons
 Trying to take my rights away
 We've got to rise above the need for cops and laws
 Let kids learn communication
 Instead of schools pushing competition
 How about more art and theater instead of sports?
 People will always do drugs, let's legalize them
 Crime drops when the mob can't price them
 Budget's in the red, let's tax religion
 No one will do it for us
 We'll just have to fix ourselves
 Honesty ain't all that hard
 Just put Rambo back inside your pants
 Causing trouble for the system is much more fun
 Thank you for the toilet paper
 But your flag is meaningless to me
 Look around, we're all people, who needs countries anyway?
 Our land, I love it too
 I think I love it more than you
 I care enough to fight
 The stars and stripes of corruption
 Let's bring it all down
 Let's bring it all down
 Let's bring it all down
 If we don't try
 If we just lie
 If we can't find a way to do better than this, who will?
