We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines[00:00:26]

And their speech is growing increasingly unkind[00:00:33]

They say they are Christ's disciples[00:00:40]

But they don't look like Jesus to me[00:00:44]

And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[00:00:47]

We got politicians running races on corporate cash[00:00:56]

Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass[00:01:04]

You may call me old-fashioned[00:01:12]

But that don't fit my picture of a true democracy[00:01:14]

And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[00:01:21]

We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay[00:01:28]

But they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage[00:01:36]

And If you don't like it mister they'll ship your job[00:01:43]

To some third-world country 'cross the sea[00:01:48]

And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[00:01:52]

Living in the wasteland of the free[00:01:59]

Where the poor have now become the enemy[00:02:08]

Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones[00:02:13]

Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy[00:02:18]

Living in the wasteland of the free[00:02:22]

We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars[00:02:30]

So what do we do we put these little kids behind prison doors[00:02:38]

And we call ourselves the advanced civilization[00:02:45]

That sounds like crap to me[00:02:54]

And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[00:03:00]

We got high-school kids running 'round in Calvin Klein and Guess[00:03:04]

Who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test[00:03:06]

But if you ask them they can tell you[00:03:09]

The name of every crotch on mTV[00:03:14]

And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[00:03:19]

We kill for oil then we throw a party when we win[00:03:32]

Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin[00:03:39]

But he's standing up for what he believes in[00:03:47]

And that seems pretty damned American to me[00:03:51]

And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[00:03:54]

Living in the wasteland of the free[00:03:57]

Where the poor have now become the enemy[00:03:59]

Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones[00:04:04]

Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy[00:04:24]

Living in the wasteland of the free[00:04:26]

While we sit gloating in our greatness[00:04:33]

Justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea[00:04:37]

Living in the wasteland of the free[00:04:43]

Living in the wasteland of the free[00:04:52]

Living in the wasteland of the free[00:05:00]
