[Verse 1]
C C7
They told you in school about freedom
C C7
But when you try to be free they never let ya
C C7
They said "it's easy , nothing to it"
C C7
And now the army's out to get ya

[Chorus]
F
Sixty nine America in terminal stasis
F
The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses
C
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues
G C
And I'm finally getting hip to the American ruse

[Verse 2]
C C7
I learned to say the pledge of allegiance
C C7
Before they beat me bloody down at the station
C C7
They haven't got a word out of me since
C C7
I got a billion years probation
