[Verse] Down by the courthouse where the flags wave high, Whispers in the shadows, truth in short supply, Suit and tie smiles that shine like polished gold, But the soul of the town has grown weary and old. [Verse 2] Main Street’s bustling but empty hearts abound, Promises made on quicksand ground, Greed's got a grip, won't let us be, Lost in the hustle, no one’s free. [Chorus] Rotten to the core, can't you see, What became of this land of the free? Silver tongues and hollow dreams, Tear apart the nation at the seams. (Bridge) Political corruption And corporate greed Has brought this nation To it's knees Lies are abounds And crime is too The nation's not sound So what do we do (Guitar solo [Verse 3] Children in the schoolyard with futures so bright, Clouded by decisions made deep in the night, Leaders talk big but walk so small, Their steps lead us all to the fall. [Verse 4] Factories closed, farms turned to dust, All sold out in the name of trust, Richer get richer while the poor scrape by, Ain't this the dream that we were sold, a lie? [Chorus] (Verse 5) where do we go from here Devision is everywhere The answer isn't clear Some just don't care (Verse 6) Seems common sense Has been lost Hatred is intense So count the cost (Chorus) (Fade out) (End)
