Once again america has chosen to keep its shut tight
|
Content in our national ignorance as long as all danger is kept out of sight
|
We don’t want to hear the reasons why this happened. We only want revenge
|
We only want to feel safe again and we’re all willing to pretend
|
that if we hunt down those responsible then the danger will disappear
|
and we won’t have to lock ourselves inside our homes, cowering in fear
|
But we must ready our nation’s defenses against more possible attacks
|
Our government is going to need our help to fight the terrorists whenever they come back
|
As long as I’m safe
|
I’ll give my government the power to decide what rights of mine to throw away
|
As long as I’m safe
|
I’ll support legislation giving those who already have too much power
|
just a little more
|
I’ll trade away my rights for my mind to be at peace
|
I’ll trade away my rights for a peaceful night of sleep
|
I’ll trade away my rights for the illusion of safety
|
I’ll trade away my rights for a false sense of security
|
As long as I’m safe
|
they can spy on me twenty-four hours a day,
|
erect video surveillance all over our communities
|
As long as I’m safe
|
I’ll succumb to phone tapping, unwarranted searches
|
and mandatory fingerprinting
|
I’ll trade away my rights to help our leaders get revenge
|
I’ll trade away my rights to make sure this will never happen again
|
I’ll trade away my rights for the illusion of safety
|
I’ll trade away my rights for a false sense of security
|
The bill of rights is null and void
|
An army of cops has been deployed
|
Every citizen is now a defendant
|
Illegal seizure of the fourth amendment
|
As long as I’m safe
|
I’ll support, without evidence, the bombing of any
|
country our leaders deem a threat
|
As long as I’m safe
|
I’ll ignore the suffering in the rest of the world
|
that our government is causing
|
I’ll trade away my rights to make sure these terrorists are stopped
|
I’ll trade away my rights to help put America back on top
|
I’ll trade away my rights for the illusion of safety
|
I’ll trade away my rights for a false sense of security
|
As long as I’m safe then it’s all been worth it
