Music and lyrics by Steve Robey

Don't sing our anthem in a funny voice
This is the country of freedom of choice
Stand up and look real patriotic
To catch up in a race of psychotics
They're a bunch of meanies
Flag waving weenies
Trying to control your mind

Watch your diction
Don't cause friction
Truth constriction
Maintain the fiction

Please try to look the other way
When our President goes astray
It's our duty to close our eyes
Ignore the fact that it's all lies
In society at large
Progress seems too hard
If we can't wise up to the facts

Watch your diction
Don't cause friction
Truth constriction
Maintain the fiction

But what of me, I read my lines
I tell my friends everything is fine
I lie to myself and I feel free
What they don't know won't hurt me
My mental tax
Denial of facts
Why can't I be honest with myself
How can I reform myself
When I see the same all around

Watch your diction
Don't cause friction
Truth constriction
Maintain the fiction

Faced with the opportunity to start fresh, the band has focused on originals since then. ... more
