They told you in school about freedom

But when you try to be free they never let ya

They said "it's easy , nothing to it"

And now the army's out to get ya

Sixty nine America in terminal stasis

The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses

I'm sick and tired of paying these dues

And i'm finally getting hip to the American ruse



I learned to say the pledge of allegiance

Before they beat me bloody down at the station

They haven't got a word out of me since

I got a billion years probation



Sixty nine America in terminal stasis

The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses

I'm sick and tired of paying these dues

And i'm sick to my guts of the American ruse
