Circling the Drain - Upinatem

If at this point you don't perceive

The hypocrisy of our democracy

Then my words will

Have no effect on you

I've put my concerns to the test

But now I see I'm just wasting breath

Reality is a concept you eschew

I won't mourn your citizens

Who volunteered so to defend the

Wealth and greed of those

Who sold them out

'Cause I'm not about to pretend that

My freedom's what they defend

Just so you sleep at night

Not filled with doubt

Most people would now agree

The greatest threat to

Democracy is not some

Muslim nutjob with a bomb

But giving in to both

Fear and hate by allowing

Bush to replicate the drain circling

Of once well read nations

I won't mourn your citizens

Who volunteered so to defend the

Wealth and greed of those

Who sold them out

'Cause I'm not about to pretend that

My freedom's what they defend

Just so you sleep at night

Not filled with doubt
