Land of the Free

Welcome to the land of spies And hypocritical lies Where dreams Fall apart at the seams Welcome to the land of the fake Where the rich and greedy take Where celebrities have all the fame And never have shame Welcome to the land of creeps Where children weep Where all innocence is taken away Never to see the light of day Welcome to the land of lies Where people die Where there are always tears Where people are lonely and filled with fear Welcome to the land of the wicked Where everything is twisted Dreams blend with reality But being polite is just a formality Welcome to the land of the free But is that what we could actually be?
