You were calling out from the underground
You had lots of big ideas
but no one can hear them now
They riddled you with guilt
They tempted you with wealth
They twisted all your words
They made you hate yourself
So now you do your shtick, a loyal patriot
And you toe the party line
even though it makes you sick
They gave you talking points
They taught you double-speak
They forced you into war
By saying you were weak.
They signed your checks
'til they had you in the bag
They scared you blind then draped you in a flag
Made you a man at Fort Bragg
You'll do good business as an apologist
If you exaggerate their facts,
if you perpetuate their myth
They made activism trite
They made honor optional
They made propaganda news
They made science radical
They pulled your teeth
'til you smiled and agreed
They slit your throat and buried you at sea
All for the land of the free
The lyrics THE UNDERGROUND MAN of DESAPARECIDOS is also present in the album Payola (2015)
Desaparecidos è un gruppo musicale statunitense di genere punk rock attivo dal 2002 al 2006. Il progetto è stato capitanato da Conor Oberst, già noto come frontman del gruppo indie folk Bright Eyes. La musica dei Desaparecidos si caratterizza per sonorità aggressive e testi politici e sociali che riflettono le preoccupazioni di Oberst riguardo alla società americana contemporanea. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "City on the Hill", "The Left Hand of God" e "Milk and Honey". Sebbene la band abbia avuto una breve durata, il loro unico album in studio, "Read Music/Speak Spanish", è considerato un classico del punk rock indipendente.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
