A culture of cowardice
Our ugliness unveiled
Portrayed as a savior
Whitewashing our crimes
We are the heroes
Crowned in our halos
Policing the world
Passing our judgment
Our so-called enemies
Are the victims of siege
Bathed in our infamy
A dark imposing spectrum
This war turned system
A means to monetary gain
Taking control of countries
Leaving famine and waste
Canadian and American society has long used the corporate media to propagate its own self-righteousness. From emphasizing the divide between social classes to manufacturing scapegoats for political and economic gain. Psychological conditioning over a long period of time has led to two economically separated, yet ultimately conservative, sections of society. The first section: a small percentage of wealthy individuals who run the private sector and maintain influence over local politicians. This class pushes to undermine and control weakened third world countries through proxy regimes and hit squads which support their capitalist structures; fashioning governments into corporate assets while openly neglecting the everyday needs of the people. At the same time they'll shamelessly blame the poor and underprivileged whenever any of their so-called 'economic crises' arise. The second strata is comprised of the middle and lower classes who are often manipulated into believing that our problems stem from loose immigration laws, foreign countries, and liberal political views. Confused, scared, tired and frustrated they often label any criticism as 'terrorist' in accordance with the Bush administration's openly racist agenda. This sociopolitical/pathological climate is leading to our downfall, creating an egotistical and cowardly culture which believes itself righteous and therefore free to brutally coerce the rest of the world. Global cop, global terror.
A million dead
Without a trace
Genocide and destruction
Hidden from our face
Any depiction of real war
Not 'appropriate' for broadcast
If CNN showed the real story
Support for war would never last
Delivered propaganda
We are mislead to believe
In a brutal foreign policy
Which supports corporate greed
Molded and sedated
Trapped in a web of lies
Living under a blanket of fear
They play with our minds.
Answering the prayers of the rich
The world trade center fell
Initiating invasions and repression
The rich will bury us all
Increased state suppression
TV influence, false connections
We're not allowed to criticize
As we bomb countries into recession
False leads and hidden agendas
To support corrupt institutions
Uncovering the truth is the key
To any possible solutions
