The Air We Breathe

Why do you choose – To walk through life so blind
Frozen Hearts – And empty minds
Its everywhere – But we still don’t see
And I blame you – And you blame me
And everyday – I slowly lose my mind
And every time – I come up empty
Something else inside me – Starts to die
And I’m left – Alone and angry

It’s in the air – That we breathe each day
It’s what we call – the American Way
It’s in the way – That we treat each other
We segregate – And we fight our brothers

Why are we raised – To pledge allegiance
To a flag – That rapes and bleeds us
And we’re all free – Or so we’re told
A country with a corrupted soul
And evryday – We chase that dream
With empty eyes – And painted smiles
And everyday – We wait to die
Still no one cares – And I’m just as guilty

It’s in the air – That we breathe each day
It’s what we call – the American Way
It’s in the way – That we treat each other
We segregate – And we fight our brothers

I only see – What they let me see
I only do – What they tell me to

No! – Yeah!
Don’t see – Don’t speak – Don’t feel – Don’t think

Compassion is a myth
The sad truth – Is ignorance is bliss
Cut from a heartless mold
Stand up – Let the truth be told

It’s in the air – That we breathe each day
It’s what we call – the American Way
It’s in the way – That we treat each other
We segregate – And we fight our brothers
