New American Century

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sascha Konietzko] Count your blessings, walk the line Don't move too fast or fall behind There are rules you must obey They get rewritten by the day Don't do this, don't say that Your every move is logged and tracked By the all-oppressive eye Spy satellites in friendly skies [Pre-Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli] The new American century Has only just begun No one exempt from the tragedy Counterattack, start pushing back [Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko] Fight the power That chokes your speech Fight the power That makes you bleed Fight the power That propagates lies To keep you weak Keep you in line [Verse 2: Sascha Konietzko] No one dares to say a word Our panic drives all human herds In the land where cash is king Our silence bought and sold for free The future's banging on our door When Real ID will be the law Love thy neighbor, turn him in It's called patriotism [Pre-Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli] The world is watching in disbelief Chanting "shame on you" How can you stand by so quietly Letting them rape your liberties? [Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko] Fight the power That chokes your speech Fight the power That makes you bleed Fight the power That propagates lies To keep you weak Keep you in line Fight the power That reigns you in Divides and conquers Defines your sin Fight the power For one and all Before the power Swallows us whole [Bridge: Sascha Konietzko] "Those who cannot learn from history Are doomed to repeat it!" You can't be bothered or concerned You see no reason for alarm Prejudice, religion, hate Usher in the new mandate Absolute and resolved One nation under one god Lack of interest has its price As we're stripped of all our rights [Pre-Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko] The new American century Repeat it! Repeat it! The new American century Repeat it! Repeat it! [Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko] Fight the power That chokes your speech Fight the power That makes you bleed Fight the power That propagates lies To keep you weak Keep you in line Fight the power That reigns you in Divides and conquers Defines your sin Fight the power For one and all Before the power Swallows us whole Fight the power
