"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours" --Richard Dawkins


We’re selling you lies, but you’re buying them
A consumer at your core, you’ve been sold yet again
We’re selling your house to pay off our debts
We’re selling our products, deep in your heads

We’re not honest, but you don’t care
You’d sell your soul if we told you it was fair
You don’t listen to what you don’t want to hear
We’ve kept you alive on a diet of fear

America takes what America wants
That’s how it is, girl
America owns everything, everything
That’s the way of our world

The American way is every-body's way
Let’s all keep getting richer
If you can’t take some patriotic heat
Get yourself out of the kitchen

We’re in a position that we like a lot
We keep things divided in “the Melting Pot”
You’re in a position that’s under our feet
Because we’re strong Americans, and you’re just weak

We’re occupying everything, we’re inside your mind
Your protest of Wall Street is way out of line
You’ve got the wrong idea, going the wrong direction
You can’t stop America without insurrection

Welcome to the United States
Land of the scream, home of the afraid
Where oppression hangs like a quiet storm
Its not torture or murder - we call it reform
