    Stars And Stripes Of Corruption

    Finally got to Washington
    In the middle of the night
    I couldn't wait
    I headed straight for the Capitol Mall

    My heart was pounding fast
    Yahoo! It really exists
    The American International Pictures logo

    I looked up at the 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 Klansmen
    With his two flashing red eyes
    Turn around, he's always watching
    The Washington monument pricks the sky
    With flags like pubic hair
    Ringed around 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 lobbing 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
    Just fiddling
    While Rome burns at home
    The Boss says, "You're laid off,
    Blame the Japanese"

    "America's back," all right
    At the game it plays the worst
    Strip mining the world like a slave plantation

    No wonder others hate us
    And the Hitlers we hand pick
    To bleed their people dry
    For our evil empire

    The 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 we're dying for

    Are the Saudies 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 easily enforced

    The stars and stripes of corruption

    Let's bring it all down!

    Tell me who's the real patriots
    The Archie Buncker 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
    And suck on your thumbs

    Real freedom scares you
    Cuz 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 all like 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 the kids learn communication
    Instead of the 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 it ourselves
    Honesty ain't all that hard
    Just put Triple X back in 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!

    If we don't try
    If we just lie
    If we can't find
    A way to do better than this

    Who will?
