Air We Breathe

Why do you choose -

To walk through life so blind

Frozen Hearts -

And empty minds

Its everywhere -

But we still don't see

And I blame you -

And you blame me

And everyday -

I slowly lose my mind

And every time -

I come up empty

Something else inside me -

Starts to die

And I'm left -

Alone and angry

It's in the air -

That we breathe each day

It's what we call - the

American Way

It's in the way -

That we treat each other

We segregate -

And we fight our brothers

Why are we raised -

To pledge allegiance

To a flag -

That rapes and bleeds us

And we're all free -

Or so we're told

A country with a corrupted soul

And evryday -

We chase that dream

With empty eyes -

And painted smiles

And everyday -

We wait to die

Still no one cares -

And I'm just as guilty

It's in the air -

That we breathe each day

It's what we call - the

American Way

It's in the way -

That we treat each other

We segregate -

And we fight our brothers

I only see -

What they let me see

I only do -

What they tell me to

No! - Yeah!

Don't see -

Don't speak -

Don't feel -

Don't think

Compassion is a myth

The sad truth -

Is ignorance is bliss

Cut from a heartless mold

Stand up -

Let the truth be told

It's in the air -

That we breathe each day

It's what we call - the

American Way

It's in the way -

That we treat each other

We segregate -

And we fight our brothers
