    "With the perfect hair
    And the perfect wife
    And the perfect kids
    And the perfect life
    I will finally be somebody"
    Let's play born-again american, resistance is the game!
    Two pigs wearing suits brought the news
    That I'm wanted by the bank
    They say the rent is due
    Ceaser's on to you
    So you better remember your place
    Then they outsourced my job and gave a raise to my boss
    Bailed out the banks, but billed me for the loss
    They say we must submit and be one with the machines
    'Cause the kingdom of fear needs compliance to succeed
    So waterboard the kids for fun, it's all the rage
    And play born-again american, reistance is the game
    Smash the control machine
    Work, buy, consume, die
    Smash the control machine
    Happy little slaves for minimum wage
    "The revolution will be monetized and streamed live via renegade wi-fi"
    The clinic said I'm sick, toxic and impure
    But there isn't any cure for the poor or uninsured
    So we live our digital lives on multiple screens
    And we forget that the blood of the workers grease the machines
    In the psalm of the fiends, love discriminates
    While the fat cats feed the rats their dose of daily cake
    So waterboard the kids for fun, it's all the rage
    And play born-again american, resistance is the game
    Smash the control machine
    Work, buy, consume, die
    Smash the control machine
    Happy little slaves for minimum wage
    Smash the control machine
    Work, buy, consume, die
    Smash the control machine
    Haters, betrayers, liars and thieves
    She sold her soul for designer clothes
    For the perfect lips and the perfect nose
    The winner in the end always owns the most
    Reality tv told her so
    Money changer, greedy banker, this is the people's house
    My minister has a sinister plan to save my soul with a credit card scam
    Exploitation is contagious for the selfish and self-inflated
    Start a war, use the poor, watch our profits soar and soar
    We've become a nation of wolves, ruled by sheep
    Owned by swine, overfed and put to sleep
    And while the media elite decrees what to think
    I am wide awake, on the edge and on the brink
    So when atlas shrugs, and the fountainhead bleeds
    And when wall street apostles preach a gospel of greed
    I'll renounce the fame of this glutinous age
    And be a born-again american, resistance is to blame
    Smash the control machine
    Work, buy, consume, die
    Smash the control machine
    Haters, betrayers, liars and thieves

    this song will NEVER be irrelevant. The reason the country is divided so much between dems vs republicans is because if we're divided, we're not united. If we were united vs the government and media that controls the fights for ratings and profits, then they would have a reason to fear. "People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people."

    As female metal singers go, shes one of my favorites. Most of them are down the 2 ally's of growl or operatic, which is overdone, unoriginal, boring, tired. This woman has done it her own way, & it sounds feminine, mean, & has signature. I dont agree with every statement, but shes an artist & credit where its due! 👍

      +Hasset Anteneh first, it's "reek", not "reak". Second, you say that like socialism is a bad thing. Socialism isn't so bad. It works quite well with other systems of government. There are a number of moderately successful socialist democracies around. It's communism that's the evil form of government. Communism is a warped version of socialism yes, but socialism is so much more than communism.
      And it's not like the lyrics of the song are wrong about the state of the USA. We've taken capitalism much too far. I'm not saying capitalism should be abolished outright, but we need to dial it back a little bit. What we need to do is the best of capitalism and the best of socialism in one government.
