<p>Majestically soaring through the air </p>
<p>resounding cries of power and pride </p>
<p>swooping down, the prey is found, </p>
<p>razor claws sink into that which has died. </p>
<p>And so our legacy begins, </p>
<p>and over the centuries carrion has been consumed. </p>
<p>Tearing down and destroying those who have fallen </p>
<p>and targeting our own when we cannot find them abroad. </p>
<p>viciously we use wars of violence and hatred to promote peace, </p>
<p>and a book of peace to promote violence and hatred.</p>
<p>Churches, mosques, synagogues, and temples </p>
<p>where the gods of creation, love and life were worshiped </p>
<p>have been replaced by stadiums, fields, and race tracks. </p>
<p>We worship the gods of money and power, </p>
<p>granting fame and fortune to athletes and singers, </p>
<p>while starving the educators of our children. </p>
<p>The land of the free. </p>
<p>Free from what? </p>
<p>Free to do what? </p>
<p>This country was built on the backs of immigrants, </p>
<p>built to withstand corruption. </p>
<p>The American Dream was the pinnacle of the world, </p>
<p>and thousands flocked to that beacon. </p>
<p>Now we burn immigrants at the stake, </p>
<p>creating a new beacon </p>
<p>and the American Dream has become a nightmare of corruption. </p>
<p>Home of the brave. </p>
<p>We send our brave all around the world, </p>
<p>to fight people we’ve never met </p>
<p>and when they return, </p>
<p>we condemn them for being sent. </p>
<p>Home of brave ignorance. </p>
<p>"America’s the greatest" </p>
<p>we whisper into the void </p>
<p>shaking back and forth clutching a bottle. </p>
<p>The rest of the world watches with a mixture of pity, loathing, and disgust. </p>
<p>Spending our fortune away on useless shining things </p>
<p>And the newest toys. </p>
<p>We traded our freedoms and our voices to the media </p>
<p>so that we would not have to form our own opinions. </p>
<p>A nation of free zombies, spewing out waste </p>
<p>And calling it gold. </p>
<p>Home to the brave, </p>
<p>where we kill and maim the helpless </p>
<p>in order to protect the invulnerable. </p>
<p>Smile, for you’re always on camera </p>
<p>in the land of the free </p>
<p>and the home of the brave.</p>
