| Living in the wasteland of the free... | |
| We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines | |
| and their speech is growing increasingly unkind | |
| They say they are Christ's disciples | |
| but they don't look like Jesus to me | |
| and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
| We got politicians running races on corporate cash | |
| Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass | |
| You may call me old-fashioned | |
| but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy | |
| and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
| We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay | |
| but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage | |
| and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job | |
| to some third-world country 'cross the sea | |
| and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
| Living in the wasteland of the free | |
| where the poor have now become the enemy | |
| Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones | |
| Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy | |
| Living in the wasteland of the free | |
| We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars | |
| So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors | |
| and we call ourselves the advanced civilization | |
| that sounds like crap to me | |
| and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
| We got high-school kids running 'round in Calvin Klein and Guess | |
| who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test | |
| but if you ask them, they can tell you | |
| the name of every crotch on mTV | |
| and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
| We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win | |
| Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin | |
| but he's standing up for what he believes in | |
| and that seems pretty damned American to me | |
| and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free | |
| Living in the wasteland of the free | |
| where the poor have now become the enemy | |
| Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones | |
| Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy | |
| Living in the wasteland of the free | |
| While we sit gloating in our greatness | |
| justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea | |
| Living in the wasteland of the free | |
| Living in the wasteland of the free | |
| Living in the wasteland of the free |
