Hard persuasion, interrogation, they call it what they will
They just don't call it torture all the same it fits the bill
A man will tell you anything if faced with pain and fear
While isolated separated from all they hold dear
Tooth for tooth & eye for eye
It makes us all the same
Political war criminals
We elect and know their names
To police the worlds insanity when at home there's a mess
Where incarcerating innocents is the one thing we do best
We must have these f**ing criminals all doing real time
No suspended-sentence cover-ups for brutal wicked crimes
United States hypocrisy got straight A's on the test
And our corporate corruption is quite simply the best
We'll go down like the Salem Witches proven innocent
Then you'll gasp the ugly truth of just how your tax dollars have been spent
And we're so good at internment it's so hard to concentrate
Trading blood for oil to construct our police state
Protecting the environment like our civil liberties
We'll show the world our freedom beaten, gagged, bound and dragged forced down onto our knees
We didn't start this fire you never came in peace
Wide awake and chained in place and stolen from their families
You've crossed the line again with eager pad and pen
Coerced, undressed, inhuman stress tell us how and we'll confess
Locked-up and thrown away The key was never made
Another culture to be scapegoated as mystery
Control by threat of fear the same throughout the years
The puppet-masters profit throughout history
Suspicion leads to torture humiliation based on faith
Somewhere in a cell between Heaven and Hell will rise a vengeful wraith
These ghosts will lead the way until your dying day
Unstitch the seems In your American dreams from Guantanamo to Abu-Graib
You'll never rest in peace
You'll never rest in peace
Sun rises everyday
You'll never rest in peace
You'll never rest in peace
You'll never rest in peace
Sun setting everyday
You'll never rest in peace
