Welcome to America; You will pour your faith into a dollar You will feed our corporations You will get an education You will have no hesitation You follow a religion You will buy into the system You will love industrialization You will find an occupation You will endlessly strive to be rich You will envy the famous You will fall behind on your payments You will pretend you have it all In hope that someone else will fall You will believe in us You will settle for simplicity You will ignore your own divinity & We will tell you, You are free.

Pledge Allegiance to Nothing
Welcome to America; You will pour your faith into a dollar You will feed our corporations You will get an education You will have no hesitation You follow a religion You will buy into the system You will love industrialization You will find an occupation You will endlessly strive to be rich You will envy the famous You will fall behind on your payments You will pretend you have it all In hope that someone else will fall You will believe in us You will settle for simplicity You will ignore your own divinity & We will tell you, You are free.
