When I read “Private Property”
A sign stapled to a tree
I think that’s got to be
The worst thing I’ve ever seen
So I go right on by
That no trespassing sign
When you disregard the rules
They no longer apply
How dare you tell I’m not allowed
To use these feet to walk around
This ain’t your world, I live here too
We belong to the Earth, it don’t belong to you
I was layin on th beach one night starin’ up at the sky
Trying to clear my mind until a cop rolled by
He said I had to go inside
Or I would be fined
What a terrible crime
I am not an American
I was just born between some lines in the sand
War is just another team sport
Root for the home team, fly your flag in support
If the natives of this land knew
what we white devils would do
Maybe they would have been a little hesitant
To show us around and be so generous
They loved land, respected every living thing
But we slaughtered them all, happy thanksgiving!
Genocide is genocide, They all died,
our history books are full of lies
You say I live in the home of the brave
Where all the people pay to be slaves
Where the only thing people care about
Is the contents of your bank account
You say I live in the land of the free
Where they can lock me up indefinitely
I won’t be hard to find when they come for me
I’ll be screamin’ hypocracy
And if terrorism is the act of inciting fear
I’d say we’ve got plenty of that right here
Because I am afraid
Of this monster that weve made
In the USA
Red white and blue are the colors of freedom
But when they’re flashing and you see them
In your rearview mirror
You are stricken with fear
Its clear there’s no freedom here
