Anti-Flag » Until It Happens To You Lyrics

you walk past an activist, who is talking on the street
about political prisoners, locked up in your own home
state and you think just for a minute, you think just
a second then you say, "that can't be true! cause i live
in the land of the freedom... where no one gets the screw!"
you turn your face, you turn your back, you say, "that can't be true!"
you stay safe locked in your prefab world, cause you're sure
it won't happen to you you're sure it won't happens to you!
you heard it every day, since the first day of your life but
you never stopped to think, what you heard was full of lies
you can't question for a minute, can't question for a second
cause you're nothing but a tool whose blueprints are tailored
and fashioned, each night by the evening news you could stand
on the street, talk 'til you're blue in the face and they would not
make you stop, cause you have no power base but if Dan Rather
got on the Evening News, and said, "it's time for revolution!"
the F.B.I. would fuck him up so bad, he'd wish he wasn't living!
they call it America, "land of the free, home of the brave"
more to the truth it's a murderer, it's the land of the Enslaved!
