all american machine (Free verse) by nolan
looking through the window
i notice a place i have never seen
people i have never met
things i want to see
i cannot help but wonder where you stand
and this rant will decide
if you are with us or against us
fuck you propaganda!
go help the nazis
ok! sorry! "the republicans"
hitler or bush?
can you tell the difference?
one stared world war two
while the other forced gulf war two
economics was the factor in both
and they both strive for success
you hear about american pride
but never about iraqi pain
lets take over the oil
and next the world!
can we stand here and let this happen?
it is sad as you drop the bombs
the children hold on
stay close to mom
there was a tear shed by one of us
you turned around
and put a bullet in his back.
when we express our opinion on free waves
you jeer,
right beside a mic
we need a change
i can't live without fear
even manson understands the concept
but then again he is the bad dude
kill each other, then we will shoot you
all in the name
of a single nation under god
Nra, Cia, Fbi, KKK
they all seem the saME
not allowing me to speak my mind
give me liberty or give me death
but what does that mean?
you told me, once, twice and thrice
but it never made sense
if liberty is freedom;
shouldn't I be six feet under?
alone at peace?
at once we shall speak!
"destroy the machine! destroy the machine!"
build a society based on equallity
not economy.
lets make enviornmental progress
instead of economical failure.
seem like a joke?
than why are you laughing?
oh yeah i forgot, why change?
you have it all: the american dream
so what, if i am canadian?
i can see your failure
this is not an attack on americans;
this is an attack on their government
i am no better than him or her
but i can realize need
a developing need for change
can i live here?
can i live there?
why can't i live where i want?
why can you tell me where to go?
give me freedom!
but not the american product,
give me freedom!
<let me choose>
take it off
that mask you are hiding behind,
tell my why?
tell my why your so corrupt?
speak to me in words of truth and not "truth"
or just tell me lies,
make me feel safe,
develop me into your product
tell me how to live.
tell me how to survive.
show me happiness give me joy
play with my thoughts play with my dreams
give me fear, give me nightmares
show me the future
and ....

let me become a working part
