Lyrics
Life here in america, there's hatred everywhere
There is pervasive hatred throughout America.
We think we're all untouchable and no one seems to care
People feel invulnerable, and apathy is widespread.
We all want all the luxuries a car, a house, a home
Desire for material luxuries like cars, houses, and homes.
We want a safe society but leave our guns alone
Desire for a safe society but reluctance to address gun control.
We cater to aristocrats we want our basic rights
There's a struggle for both basic rights and catering to the elite.
If we piss off all our neighbors we'll send the poor to fight
Disregarding consequences by sending the less fortunate to fight.
It's hard to find the reasons, where did it all go wrong?
A query about when things went wrong without clear answers.
And if you all agree with me you'll help me sing this song
Inviting agreement and unity in addressing these issues.
It's all lies we all believe american
Highlighting the prevalence of lies believed by Americans.
Lies we won't give up we're living in
Refusal to let go of these lies that govern life.
Lies salute the flag the 4th of July
Symbolizing allegiance on Independence Day amidst falsehoods.
Suck it up, you're living in a lie
Encouragement to accept the fabricated reality.
Right here in america we got college and healthcare
Despite available education and healthcare, reluctance to use due to consequences.
But if you're really smart enough to get sick you'd never dare
Fear of economic repercussions if one falls ill.
The laws have all been rigged now to help the middle class
Manipulated laws favoring the wealthy and evading taxes.
You can bet their money's hidden and they're never paying tax
Suggesting the concealment of wealth by the upper class.
It's hard to tell your children the truth why you got fired
Struggling to explain job loss amidst widening income disparities.
When the pay your boss is making just continues to rise
Disparity between worker and employer earnings.
So work your whole life faithfully just trying to get ahead
Life's dedication to work for advancement only to be exploited.
Then they'll drain all of your bank accounts until you're finally dead
Depicting exploitation until death and depletion of resources.
It's all lies we all believe american
Reiteration of the pervasive nature of believed lies.
Lies we won't give up we're living in
Commitment to sustaining these falsehoods governing life.
Lies yeah uncle Sam's just clinging to life
Implying the government's precarious state due to lies.
Suck it up, you're living in a lie
Encouragement to endure and accept the false reality.
Life here in america, there's hatred everywhere
Reiteration of the pervasive hatred and apathy.
We think we're all untouchable and no one seems to care
Similar sentiments about invincibility and indifference.
We all want all the luxuries - a car, a house, a home
Desire for material luxuries reiterated.
We want a safe society but leave our guns alone
Desire for safety without addressing gun issues repeated.
We cater to aristocrats we want our basic rights
Conflict between pursuing basic rights and appeasing the elite.
If we piss off all our neighbors we'll send the poor to fight
Using the less privileged for conflicts caused by provocation.
It's hard to find the reasons, where did it all go wrong?
Questioning the origins of societal wrongs.
And if don't agree with me you must believe
Challenging dissenting views as believing in the lies.
American lies you must believe American
Emphasizing the need to accept these pervasive American lies.
Lies we all believe american
Reiteration of the prevalence of believed lies.
Lies enough to make a patriot cry
Impact of these lies on patriotism and emotional response.
Suck it up, you're living in a lie
Encouragement to endure the fabricated reality.
