Stars & Stripes

The power to possess your entire generation I just can't understand
You use your flag to symbolize the power of the nation
And rule all across the land
The stars and the stripes for the passive population, nobody says a word
The U.S of A united states of frustration nobody ever gets heard

Manipulate the masses with your oral masturbation
And your bullshit lullabies
Feed them crap and set the trap on every T.V station
With all your god damn lies
Keep them low on what you know and low on education
So they just won't understand
And take away what might be left of their imagination
And feed them from your hand

Tell me what is black and what is white
Cos God knows what is wrong and what is right
Show me all your power and your might
Help Me!

Fourth of July you say you need a celebration
I can't understand what for
To celebrate 200 hundred years of mind manipulation
Well thank you Tipper Gore
Encourage all the people in your racial separation
Well what about equality?
Feed them all with sex and drugs and worthless information
Is that how you want it to be?

Tell me what is black and what is white
Cos God knows what is wrong and what is right
Show me all your power and your might
Help Me!
Tell me what is black and what is white
Cos God knows what is wrong and what is right
Show me all your power and your might
Help Me!

Take away all common sense and all communication
Just to benefit your way
Then take away and make them a pay
A move of desperation and hope they will obey
You can't understand why you're misunderstood
You believe what you're doing is good
You laugh in the face of the poor and
The weak and take away there freedom to speak
You build up a wall with your false perfection
Just to protect yourself

But you can't understand that you're the disease
And you're killing everybody else
And you won't understand
Until life does cease to exist on our planet Earth
So you play with your kids and you pay
For your sins and then you pray in the church

Tell me what is black and what is white
Cos God knows what is wrong and what is right
Show me all your power and your might
Help Me!
Tell me what is black and what is white
Cos God knows what is wrong and what is right
Show me all your power and your might
Help Me!
