Independence Day

i live in the shadows of cleptocrats
 and brothels on pennsylvania ave.
 with children of the leviathan
 out for blood, whatever it takes to win
 so let's face it
 many don't mind another whitewash
 'cause they sure love the hegemony
 paying lip service to justice
 through symbols and through pageantry
 we can move forward, we can escape
 i remember on independence day
 we can move backwards, repeat the mistakes
 the choices we made on independence day
 we perpetuate the legacy
 of empire and of tyranny
 if children of the leviathan
 are blinded by the womb they're nourished in
 so let's face it
 no longer can we export injustice
 and call it national security
 so we must fight for independence
 from illusions of democracy
