America the land of the free?


In the land of the free we enslave each other

We're suppose to love, but instead we betray our own sister and brother

We have the chance to overcome, but we hold ourselves back

We settle for our own lies instead of looking for the facts

Everyone's corrupt they believe money means more

The good people try to save the world, but it's becoming a chore

Only we can fix things because we ruined it in the first place

We need to remember it's not a race, but if we find a sliver of good then

we need to chase
