I Don't Believe

i don't believe
i don't believe
i don't

i learned about america from my first day in school
land of opportunity, land of the free
they told us we were blessed and fortunate
but they turned away my questions on homelessness

i don't believe (i don't believe)
i don't believe (i don't believe)
i don't believe (i don't believe)
i don't believe (i don't believe), i don't believe (i don't believe)

born into a national identity
a citizenship that defines the word "free"
but if we're so fucking free
why don't we even get a choice?
i never choose to be a citizen,
there was no choice given to make

i don't believe (i don't believe)
i don't believe (i don't believe)
i don't believe (i don't believe)
i don't believe (i don't believe), i don't believe

i don't believe in america
or the "american dream"
i don't believe in nationalism
we're all the same

until the rich old men who control the world
find something they can't have
and they send us out there to kill each other,
let the rich fight their wars themselves

i don't believe... i don't believe...
i don't believe... i don't believe...
i don't believe... i don't believe...
i don't believe... i don't believe...

i don't believe... i don't believe... (you've got nothing to gain, by fighting for them!)
i don't believe... i don't believe... (you've got nothing to gain, by fighting for them!)
you've got nothing to gain, by fighting for them!
you've got nothing to gain, by fighting for them!
