about

Electro 115bpm.

Social commentary on how the more things change, the more they stay the same.

lyrics

I look around and see mankind in misery we repeat the same mistakes,
another generation has come and gone we running things the same old way,
imperialism nihilism super- exploitation of the common man,
plutocracy technocracy just for control of the holy land the motherland,

taken for a ride through the belly of babylon,
taken for a ride and you know I cant find my way home,
taken for a ride for the profits of industry,
taken for a ride this is not the American dream,

I never thought that I would live to see the day that a wave would overtake a nation,
these hurricanes reveal our shame but whos to blame when the government is on vacation,
another million and a billion and a trillion they throw away to play the game,
commercial material the physical and the quest for fame is still the same,

taken for a ride through the belly of babylon,
taken for a ride and you know I cant find my way home,
taken for a ride for the profits of industry,
taken for a ride this is not the American dream,
