The Comrades: "It's Time"

Written by Jimmy Williams. Copyright 1996.

You say you love this country wrong or right
Blind loyalty ot robs you of your sight
Uncle sam doesn't care whether you live or die
Money for defense while the hungry children cry

It's time to reconsider the myths you hold as true
It's time to re-evaluate what you deem sacred too
Strangled by the swaddling banner you salute
Enslaved by the free market economic brute

Lay down your life for it, I don't understand
You're pummeled to the ground by the invisible hand
Screwed by the very same system you embrace
Do you really like being kept down in your place?

It's time to reconsider the myths you hold as true
It's time to re-evaluate what you deem sacred too
Strangled by the swaddling banner you salute
Enslaved by the free market economic brute

Living hand to mouth is the thanks that you get
For being a faithful and obedient pet
Shed the shakles of wage slavery
Only then will we truly be free

It's time to reconsider the myths you hold as true
It's time to re-evaluate what you deem sacred too
Strangled by the swaddling banner you salute
Enslaved by the free market economic brute
