Story Behind the Song
Politics and just all around social crap inspired this one.
Lyrics
Chorus: We need a regime change in Washington, D.C. (to shining sea). This is my word, this is my plea: For you to stop putting your souls up for lease and buying into this puppet party plutocracy.
In all your life, is all you wanted to be a pawn in a war for the econo-me? and you -nited in a coup, to overthrow the few who 1) threaten the masses; 2) segregate the classes; (last but not least) 3) give big business passes to dehuminize, (and) globalize. Although they try, there's no way they can improve our way of life.
Chrous
Land of the free, home of the brave?
No identity, we are all the same
Land of the free, home of the brave?
No identity, stripped of all thought
Whose broad striped and bright stars?
Thirteen read and white prison bars
Whose broad striped and bright stars?
You can have 'em, they're not ours!
Well there's nothing better than a greedy corporate-run government: (that's) training us to buy then forcing us to die (FOR THEM!). So we must never subside and let ignorance revive or else they'll continue to try: To contain our ideas and minds just to boost their pocketbooks bulk and size.
