Once again america has chosen to keep its shut tight Content in our national ignorance as long as all danger is kept out of sight We don’t want to hear the reasons why this happened. We only want revenge We only want to feel safe again and we’re all willing to pretend that if we hunt down those responsible then the danger will disappear and we won’t have to lock ourselves inside our homes, cowering in fear But we must ready our nation’s defenses against more possible attacks Our government is going to need our help to fight the terrorists whenever they come back As long as I’m safe I’ll give my government the power to decide what rights of mine to throw away As long as I’m safe I’ll support legislation giving those who already have too much power just a little more
I’ll trade away my rights for my mind to be at peace I’ll trade away my rights for a peaceful night of sleep I’ll trade away my rights for the illusion of safety I’ll trade away my rights for a false sense of security
As long as I’m safe they can spy on me twenty-four hours a day, erect video surveillance all over our communities As long as I’m safe I’ll succumb to phone tapping, unwarranted searches and mandatory fingerprinting
I’ll trade away my rights to help our leaders get revenge I’ll trade away my rights to make sure this will never happen again I’ll trade away my rights for the illusion of safety I’ll trade away my rights for a false sense of security
The bill of rights is null and void An army of cops has been deployed Every citizen is now a defendant Illegal seizure of the fourth amendment As long as I’m safe I’ll support, without evidence, the bombing of any country our leaders deem a threat As long as I’m safe I’ll ignore the suffering in the rest of the world that our government is causing
I’ll trade away my rights to make sure these terrorists are stopped I’ll trade away my rights to help put America back on top I’ll trade away my rights for the illusion of safety I’ll trade away my rights for a false sense of security As long as I’m safe then it’s all been worth itTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
