To the Republic - As They Sleep

To the Republic Lyrics

To the republic for which it stands
We have sacrificed and met demands
The rhetoric of a sovereign nation
The searing screams of exasperationIf logic is the money of the mind
Then clearly we have spent ourselves blind
Unite, uniteDepreciate the American dollar
Magnify this quest for power
Alas, when everything is said and done
Who will be the anointed one?It's so easy just to push the blame
When at stake is a politician's fame
It's so easy just to push the blame
And bring on endless sufferingHave we not learned from yesterday?
Or are we blinded by hypocrisy?
Have we not learned from yesterday?
Tempers flaring every word that you sayHave we not learned from yesterday?You cannot finance destiny
The art of losing is not hard to master
It's so plain to see
That we are falling fasterAim your guns high

You have to learn to walk before you learn to fly
Aim your guns high
But when the bullets fall back to earth, they may take your lifeTo the republic for which it stands
We have sacrificed and met demands
The rhetoric of a sovereign nation
The searing screams of exasperationOne nation under God
That doesn't seem to be the case
One nation under fraud
Emancipate this dying race
