Lyrics

Now America's got a brand new war Can anybody tell me what we're fighting for? Time to manufacture the illusion of safety Don't fear, just consume to uphold the economy Yeah we always buy everything that they're sellin' Everything that they're sellin' - - Payin' for the bombs that fall on our children Now we're headed for our own demise Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon And that's the bottom line It's time to cancel my subscription I just can't stomach anymore of the lies Violence equals violence and it's no solution And that's the bottom line - - Now turn on the radio and hear what it's sayin' Another hollow candy coated melody about nothing Easier to sell it don't require you to think Dumbed down drool, a façade suck-cess We're still buyin' everything that they're sellin' Everything that they're sellin' - - Now I'm lookin for the truth and solid meaning So I can scrape the glaze off both of my eyes Stuffed to the gills with a false sense of substance And now I realize So it's time to cancel my subscription I just can't stomach anymore of their lies Wealth the spectacle of a greedy solution and that's the bottom line - - Now I'm not buyin' anything that they're sellin' Not givin' in this time - - Payin' for the bombs that fall on our children Now we're headed for our own demise Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon And that's the bottom line So it's time to cancel my subscription I just can't stomach anymore of the lies Violence equals violence and it's no solution And that's the bottom line
