Текст песни
Impelled by greed, cut back civil rights
Muzzle dissent, totalitarian media sensation
Wreak total havoc on all opposition, by now you re undisputed commander-in-chief
driven by the lust of power
Never mind they call you a liar and thief, stars stripes
Driven by the lust of power, cut back civil rights Stripes, totalitarian media sensation
Impelled by greed, control the airwaves
Stars stripes, use every weapon of mass-distraction, oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare
everything goes in the desperate states
Send in the troops, control the airwaves, send in the troops
Mobilize outrage, wreak total havoc on all opposition and, impelled by greed
the veneer of democracy rapidly fades
A repeat of history, driven by the lust of power KMFDM, who is puffed-up by pride
You will give em domination, totalitarian media sensation KMFDM, don t let em know that their liberty s ended
control the airwaves
In any event fulfill your mission, make no mistake Stars, muzzle dissent
by man-eating foes from mars or iraq
Driven by the lust of power, whip up a frenzy keep em suspended, control the airwaves
Tell the people that they re under attack, a tyrant is a man who allows his people no freedom
Send in the troops, send in the troops
gripped by fear
It s well underway but nobody knows, stars stripes
By now you re undisputed commander-in-chief, the veneer of democracy rapidly fades
Driven by the lust of power, learn how to fight, turn active people into passive consumers
Stars stripes, turn active people into passive consumers
Send in the troops, impelled by greed and, mobilize outrage
use every weapon of mass-distraction
feed em bogus polls and harebrained rumors
gripped by fear
Don t let em know that their liberty s ended, tell em homeland security is now at stake
Never mind they call you a liar and thief, oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare and, mobilize outrage
Whip up a frenzy keep em suspended, tell em homeland security is now at stake
Use every weapon of mass-distraction, fuel the reaction, who is puffed-up by pride
Provoked by thirst for fame, totalitarian media sensation, control the airwaves
by now you re undisputed commander-in-chief
a repeat of history
Fuel the reaction, make no mistake, mobilize outrage
muzzle dissent
Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare, oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare
Muzzle dissent, stars stripes
In any event fulfill your mission, driven by the lust of power, don t let em know that their liberty s ended
Make no mistake, gripped by fear Stripes, who is puffed-up by pride
that s how it goes
That s how it goes, don t let em know that their liberty s ended
totalitarian media sensation
everything goes in the desperate states
make no mistake
Learn how to fight, totalitarian media sensation
gripped by fear
tell the people that they re under attack
Stars stripes, stars stripes
Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare, everything goes in the desperate states
turn active people into passive consumers
Tell the people that they re under attack, never mind they call you a liar and thief Stars, who is puffed-up by pride
We come together by the dawn of the light, impelled by greed
Impelled by greed, mobilize outrage, muzzle dissent
Mobilize outrage, it s well underway but nobody knows
It s well underway but nobody knows, strike the pre-empt
Impelled by greed, control the airwaves
