"Red, White and Brainwashed"
They use the flag to control us
Brainwash us to be their patrotic slaves
Programs our minds by controlling what we learn
The only difference from the nazis is that
Someone tried to stop them
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
The government says they're working for us
Just as long as we increase their pay
But the minute they get into office we're a has-been
A yesterday
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
The red stands for the blood of all the people
We've slain
The white for this racist, bigoted foundation
The blue for your arayan eyes -- all empty
Empty because you're taught to bow down to the man
"Fly that flag, that flag of freedom"
"Do what you can for your country"
Go and fight their wars for them
"They're not following in our footsteps,
KILL THEM!"
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
They call that being a patriot
I just call it ignorant
If you don't fight to make things better
Then you're the one betraying the country
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED

seattle was a riot
Why must we riot
Why must we protest
Just to be heard - by the world?
Seattle was a riot, they tried to pin on us
But we didn't show up, with gas and billy clubs
An un-armed mass of thousands, just trying to be heard
But there are no world leaders- that want to hear our words.
Ohhh.
chorus
The World Bank's greed and lies, digs graves in 3rd world lands
And fills them with the remains of exploited workers
Or displaced native peoples, and destroyed ecosystems
Under the guise of progress, relief, and tech assistance.
Ohhh.
Chorus(repeat)
Bridge
Since the dawn of history -the few who own control
Have bent and rewrote history-how they want it to go
They try to control what we learn-and take away our
rights
'Cause when the masses round the world unite-
That's a force they can not fight
We'll fight for our
We'll fight for our
We'll fight for our
We'll fight for our Rights!
Chorus (repeat)
Ending
Sitting in what was designated the "Cooperation Zone"
by Seattle Police Sergeant Richard Goldstein
They sat heads bowed- listening as the police
methodically shot pepper spray- one eye at a time-
into the eyes of their passive brothers and sisters
Whore like police- playing judge, jury, and
executioner for their pimp like bosses in the World
Bank and W.T.O.
This is not justice. This is not the role of, The
Servants of the People
Such tyranny brings ruling classes crashing to the
ground and contemporary societies to an end

"Re-gaining Unconsciousness"
First they put away the dealers,
keep our kids safe and off the street.
Then they put away the prostitutes,
keep married men cloistered at home.
Then they shooed away the bums,
then they beat and bashed the queers,
turned away asylum-seekers,
fed us suspicions and fears.
We didn´t raise our voice,
we didn´t make a fuss.
It´s funny there was no one left to notice
when they came for us.
Looks like witches are in season,
you better fly your flag and be aware
of anyone who might fit the description,
diversity is now our biggest fear.
Now with our conversations tapped
and our differences exposed,
how ya supposed to love your neighbor
with our minds and curtains closed?
We used to worry ´bout big brother,
now we got a big father and an even bigger muther.
And still you believe
this aristocracy gives a fuck about you.
They put the mock in demockracy
and you swallowed every hook.
The sad truth is you would rather
follow the school into the net
cuz swimming alone at sea
is not the kind of freedom you actually want.
So go back to your crib and suck on a tit
go bask in the warmth of your diaper.
You´re sitting in shit and piss
while sucking a huge pacifier,
a country of adult infants.
A legion of mental midgets
all regaining their unconsciousness

believing the lies defines american
they don't realize their ignorance and sin
democracy ain't real it's a fairytale
anarchy now then spend the night in jail
i won't pretend that it ain't wrong
i won't just go along
humanity is deseased
and the sickness has increased
for the people by the people
who's considered people anyway?
the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
so much for equal opportunity!

Rank-N-File Lyrics
I'm standing with the rank-n-file I'm marching with
the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
let my imagination go and drop me where i feel most scare back snap back already giving thanks im not trapped working in a sweatshop somewhere this songs for those less fortunate locked in a world where both ends aren't meant to meet I'm standing with the rank-n-file I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves let my imagination go and drop me where i feel most scare synaptic flashes in my head then total thanks again I'm not soldiering somewhere this songs for the countless souls who died in vain for someone else's gain. left my birthplace for forgeign streets to strange places new faces i flew shoeless kids stood on the corner their eyes they were transfixed on you so I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground my black heart worn on the sleeve
I'm standing with the rank-n-file I'm marching with
the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
