Independence Day

I live in the shadows of cleptocrats
And brothels on Pennsylvania Ave.
With children of the leviathan
Out for blood, whatever it takes to win
So let’s face it Many don’t mind another whitewash
'Cause they sure love the hegemony
Paying lip service to justice
Through symbols and through pageantry
We can move forward, we can escape
I remember on Independence Day
We can move backwards, repeat the mistakes
The choices we made on Independence Day
We perpetuate the legacy
Of empire and of tyranny
If children of the leviathan
Are blinded by the womb they’re nourished in So let’s face it No longer can we export injustice
And call it national security
So we must fight for independence
From illusions of democracy
