A Day Late... And a Dollar Short

I am American, my empty pockets grow deeper
 I'll never get ahead
 Always a day late, always a dollar short
 They'll take you under a broken wing
 Become dependent on a government
 That can't depend on itself
 Can you envision the collision
 They'll destroy our minds, but not our instincts
 Society breaks down with every scientific breakthrough
 Solidating power by legalizing insanity
 Fuck your desire for peace
 They rape and pillage in your name
 You're against abortion but you aborted your dreams
 Privatized banks implementing a dictatorship
 Antipatriots extend the patriot act
 And constitutionals are put on a watchlist
 I am American, my empty pockets grow deeper
 I'll never get ahead
 Always a day late, always a dollar short
 They'll take you under a broken wing
 Destined to fail since seventeen seventy six
 A power tripping indecesive nation
 Don't trade freedom for security
 They'll destroy our minds, but not our instincts
 They'll destroy our minds, but not our instincts
 Solidating power by legalizing insanity
 Fuck your desire for peace
 They rape and pillage in your name
