American Life
Verse 1 Is it the land of the free? Is it the home of the brave? Is it one nation under God? If all of that is true Why is life expensive there? Why are many people so afraid? Why is the nation divided? Has God really blessed America? Verse 2 Celebrities are worshipped People want the inside scoop They want to know details about their personal lives But if the tables were turned Would you want to be splashed on magazine covers? Would you want to be talked about on the internet? Verse 3 I'll sue you at the drop of a hat I'll cook the books I'll hate you one day Then love you the next I will claim to be a Christian But support the death penalty I believe in the Constitution But there's no justice for all Should I call the cops if someone's stalking me? Or do I have to worry if they're corrupt? Verse 4 I pledge allegiance to no one It is within my right to do so I am a real patriot Let's go bomb the ones who hate us Let's celebrate our melting pot And be ashamed of our differences Let's lie and cheat and cast blame All this madness is driving me insane Chorus American life Carrying weapons in the ghetto Swimming in the suburb Raising children on the farmland This is as real as it gets Written by B.

So Much For The City
Verse 1 This city is just not for me It was never filled with possibilities Everywhere I go Is a place I should have never been Curiosity got the best of me I won't look back Homeless people walk up to me They get in my face begging for money They dirty up the streets They don't want to get a job Who the hell cares Cause they'll soon no longer bother me Verse 2 Dying is never a choice But living life certainly is So I choose to feel alive For the rest of my days And I will get a chance to Only if I'm far, far away Bridge The soul of the city is colder than its winter season Icicles pierced what was remaining of its barren heart Snow has blocked its eyesight The blind are leading everyone into eternal hibernation That's why the Queen owns this nation Chorus 1 So much for the city That never was the place I thought it would be Politicos and special interests rule I'm escaping from the clutches of their stupidity So much for the city Chorus 2 So much for the city That never was the place I thought it would be Politicos and special interests rule I'm escaping from the clutches of their stupidity I refuse to live under this maddening authority So much for the city Chorus 3 So much for the city That never was the place I thought it would be Politicos and special interests rule So much for the city Written by B.

Take London
Verse 1 You're here, watch it unfold The battle for the city is a daring move It's bold Falling palace, bring it down The mighty are weaker than they let on Revolt and they'll be gone You're here, open your eyes Look around at the city you despise Burning palace Let it crumble till it no longer stands The mighty are losing their strength Revolt and bury them into the ground Verse 2 You're here, resist blinking The old city is sinking Her days on the world stage are winding down Spit out your rage Glass palace, smash it to bits The mighty aren't invincible Revolt and breakaway You're here That's reason enough to create history Makeover the city Ancient palace, re-model it The mighty will be exiled to a foreign land Chorus 1 T-T-T-T Take London London is ours forevermore T-T-T-T Take London Royalty is such a bore T-T-T-T Take London Chorus 2 T-T-T-T Take London What's seen was hidden before T-T-T-T Take London Maddening authority - I'll live under it no more T-T-T-T Take London Written by B.
