The government is your friend, you see, that's what I have to say or they will bury me Don't you try to criticize, don't you every try to talk about their lies I don't know what you've been told, but last time that I checked We had the right to say the things we mean, and disagree, and not have to face the guillotine If it's your head in the basket, then you picked the wrong side of the revolution The Patriot Act is the Riot Act with a "PAT" What it really means is that they're watching you, and that they're *really* watching me And anyone who disagrees is sure to lose their liberties A patriot has got to keep his mouth shut If it's your head in the basket, then you picked the wrong side of the revolution Our child king and his army wing are hellbent on the conquest Our enemies on bended knees will see it our way soon The freedom that they steal from us, they try to export overseas And now our former enemies are free to live a life of tyrrany the same as you and me And it's a crime To speak your mind And it's a crime... Don't say a word, cuz if you're heard That blade is gonna fall There's a place you ought to know, this shithole called Guantanamo Where the people who we cannot trust are safely kept away from us Well, we never have to worry if they're guilty or not, because we stick them in a cell and they are soon forgotten And they're out of sight and out of mind and out of luck If it's your head in the basket, then you picked the wrong side of the revolution Before you choose a side to fight, forget about who's wrong or right If you like your neck, you best as heck start rooting for the winner This brave new world is knocking at your door, and you better let it in The constitution's evolution never made a contribution to the revolutionary man And it's a crime To speak your mind And it's a crime... Don't say a word, cuz if you're heard That blade is gonna fall
