I live in the shadows of cleptocrats And brothels on pennsylvania ave. With children of the leviathan Out for blood, whatever it takes to win So let's face it Many don't mind another whitewash 'Cause they sure love the hegemony Paying lip service to justice Through symbols and through pageantry We can move forward, we can escape I remember on independence day We can move backwards, repeat the mistakes The choices we made on independence day We perpetuate the legacy Of empire and of tyranny If children of the leviathan Are blinded by the womb they're nourished in So let's face it No longer can we export injustice And call it national security So we must fight for independence From illusions of democracy
