	On September 12, every news station started rambling this crap about waking up in a new amerika. Two buildings down and a few thousand dead don't change a country. But it is more paranoid, less trusting. Behold the erosion of civil liberties and the Orwellian state put in its place, all in the name of national security. Has anything really changed? This is the way this country has always dealt with problems, by using violence, ignoring the bill of rights, going to war with fabricated causes, etc. None of that is new.

	Story Behind the Song When the excrement hit the fan as planes were hitting buildings, I thought, "Surely something like this will force everyone else to think about why the world hates amerikans." Of course, it didn't. Why? Because terrorists "hate freedom." So the perfect solution to stop these attacks are to take our freedom away. Dog bless the republican party. Lyrics Cameras that watch you everywhere. Microphones as small as a human hair. Privacy, a thing of the past, a memory that wont last, until no one even cares! Armed Guards in every public place. Register the entire human race. Follow you despite what you say, spies that won't go away, it's the new amerikan way! Satellites that track you from orbit. "Freedom of Speech" except which is morbid. And if you think of a crime, they'll already have read your mind and you'll be shot dead in your tracks. We woke up to a "NEW AAMERIKA" We woke up to a "NEW AAMERIKA WAY" We woke up to a "NEW AAMERIKA" We woke up but has anything really change.
