That Way Lyrics
Here we go again good citizens
Avert your eyes
As the innocent collide
Run and hide as the world sits and watches, hypnotized
Another Belgrade sunset leaving town
Another refugee Macedonia bound
And the bombs still fall tearing the city down
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain't nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
Facism gaining ground
An effective cleansing
The borders are closing down
The unwanted masses litter the bloodstained ground
And I don't really want to know and I don't care
I've got my own problems and they're over here not there
A good american remains totally unaware
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain't nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
So give us your tired your poor and your weak
Cause we break ground for a Wal-mart there next week
And I wanna keep it that way
Avert your eyes
As the innocent collide
Run and hide as the world sits and watches, hypnotized
Another Belgrade sunset leaving town
Another refugee Macedonia bound
And the bombs still fall tearing the city down
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain't nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
Facism gaining ground
An effective cleansing
The borders are closing down
The unwanted masses litter the bloodstained ground
And I don't really want to know and I don't care
I've got my own problems and they're over here not there
A good american remains totally unaware
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain't nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
So give us your tired your poor and your weak
Cause we break ground for a Wal-mart there next week
And I wanna keep it that way

This is such a great song, i reckon everyone should have a copy of it somewhere. This bands lyrics are just so damn good, they actually mean something and have effort put into them unlike the millions of bands and singers out there who have other people write their music and the lyrics mean nothing, but are just rhyming words. I wish i lived in Florida so i could see these guys play or they would come to Sydney to do a gig :(
Seriously, you don't wanna live in Florida... also known as the penis of the United States.
:) I also enjoy this song very, very much. I think this shows the overly coperate-ishness of America and the rest of the developed world and how it's heading towards American's fascist views (if they weren't there already)
