Walk the line
Don't move too fast
Or fall behind
There are rules you must obey
They get re-written 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
The new american century
Has only just begun
No one exempt from the tragedy
Counterattack start pushing back
Fight the power
That chokes your speech
Fight the power
That makes you bleed
Fight the power
That propogates 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
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 I. D. Will be the law
Love thy neighbor and turn him in
It's call patriotism
The world is watching in disbelief
Chanting shame on you
How can you stand by so quietly
Letting them rape your liberties
You can't be bothered or concerned
You see no reason for alarm
Prejudice, religion hate
Usher in new mandate
Absolute and resolved
One nation under one god
Lack of interest has it's price
As we're stripped of all our rights
Those who cannot learn from history
Are doomed to repeat it!
Count your blessings Walk the line Don't move too fast Or fall behind There are rules you must obey They get re-written 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 The new american century Has only just begun No one exempt from the tragedy Counterattack start pushing back Fight the power That chokes your speech Fight the power That makes you bleed Fight the power That propogates 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 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 I. D. Will be the law Love thy neighbor and turn him in It's call patriotism The world is watching in disbelief Chanting shame on you How can you stand by so quietly Letting them rape your liberties You can't be bothered or concerned You see no reason for alarm Prejudice, religion hate Usher in new mandate Absolute and resolved One nation under one god Lack of interest has it's price As we're stripped of all our rights Those who cannot learn from history Are doomed to repeat it!
