They taught you to spy
Then they taught you to lie
It doesn't matter when you're
Working for God's side

Fmin Ab Db7 Cmin7 B7
They taught you to steal
Conceal what you feel
You had to stop cause
You're too nice a guy

Fmin Ab Db7 Cmin7 B7
So where do you go?
When you can't come home
It's good to see in the news
That you are not alone

Fmin Ab Db7 Cmin7 B7
They will try to persuade
Other countries to obey
Just don't give up and
Let them have their way

There's only so much you can do
As a patriot caught in a political zoo
Someday, freedom will mean more than 50 stars
It's been over 2 centuries, but we still gotta go far

Stuck in the airport in Moscow
You hear news with doubts
That you can find amnesty
Deep in the far south

Here comes the Government charges
Waiting till a force barges
Onto your plane or train
You're now a target

The blind lady justice dies
Behind federal office ties
That see every American
As possible enemy eyes

For you now to succeed
You must kill all the weeds
That formed our security into
A pyramid of greed

E7 G#min Gmin F# min A
There's only so much you can do
As a patriot caught in a political zoo
Someday, freedom will mean more than 50 stars
It's been over 2 centuries, but we still gotta go far

Don't shed that justice dream too soon
We must kill the elephant in the room
NSA can't keep running their play
Lies and corruption is not here to stay
