Fare
We've been sold out by At&T
sold out by Dell
they've moved operations over seas
and they don't care that we're headed for hell
these are not patriots
least not as far as I can tell
takes more than a name to be an American
and we should all ring the liberty bell
then teach our children well
exactly what it means
and that there is great responsibility
in being free
think those behind the lobiest care
do they give and take a fare share
or do they live behind big fences
in fear of grizzly bears
the problem is that nobody seems to notice or care
and nobody seems to notice the broken people
our own brothers and sisters that are everywhewre
and we all know
and we keep on being told
that life aint fare
