Foul Taste of Freedom
Pro-Pain Lyrics

Young, dumb and helpless, in the states
Being young, naive, and powerless while living in the United States

You say you ain't got no money, I can relate
I can understand the struggle of not having enough money

I lost my job and my house and my, piece of mind
I have experienced the loss of my job, my home, and my sanity

We're in the deepest depression of, modern time
We are currently in the worst economic depression of our era

A thousand points of light shinin', in my face
There are too many distractions and false promises being thrown at us

Eyes are blinded by a can of Republican mace
The Republican party's tactics and propaganda are hindering our vision and judgment

Shinin' seas of starving people are the, unemployed
The amount of people struggling with unemployment and poverty is overwhelming

Stars and stripes are rubber checks, null and void
The values and principles that are supposed to uphold our nation are worthless and meaningless

We are the red, white and blue that you bleed
As American citizens, we share a common bond and identity

We have the right to survive and succeed
We should have the opportunity to live and prosper

Worthless and weak is "be all you can be"
The idea that anyone can become whatever they want through hard work is false and unrealistic

Democracy leaves a foul taste of freedom in me
The current state of democracy in America is disappointing and unfulfilling

Budget cuts and tax hikes, crush the land
The government's fiscal policies are harming the country and its people

Of plenty, see the weak die by gods hand
Despite living in a land of abundance, the most vulnerable members of society suffer and die

If you're proud of your country then you're probably rich
Only the wealthy in America can afford to be proud of their country

But if you're fed up you better piss, moan and bitch
If you're dissatisfied with America's current state, you should voice your complaints

Yankee doodle dickweed went to town
The stereotypical American who blindly supports their country and government

Apple pie and Chevrolet shot him down
The very things that are supposed to represent America have failed us

A patriotic, fatheaded, sucker, freak
Someone who blindly follows their country without thinking critically or independently

Is proud to serve the country that had served him weak..
Despite being failed by their country, some Americans still blindly choose to serve it
