Air We Breathe - The Suicide Machines

Why do you choose

To walk through life so blind

Frozen hearts

And empty minds

Its everywhere

But we still don’t see

And I blame you

And you blame me

And everyday

I slowly lose my mind

And every time

I come up empty

Something else inside me

Starts to die

And I’m left

Alone and angry

It’s in the air

That we breathe each day

It’s what we call

The American way

It’s in the way

That we treat each other

We segregate

And we fight our brothers

Why are we raised

To pledge allegiance

To a flag

That rapes and bleeds us

And we’re all free

Or so we’re told

A country with a corrupted soul

And everyday

We chase that dream

With empty eyes

And painted smiles

And everyday

We wait to die

Still no one cares

And I’m just as guilty

It’s in the air

That we breathe each day

It’s what we call

The American way

It’s in the way

That we treat each other

We segregate

And we fight our brothers

I only see

What they let me see

I only do

What they tell me to

No!

Yeah!

Don’t see

Don’t speak

Don’t feel

Don’t think

Compassion is a myth

The sad truth

Is ignorance is bliss

Cut from a heartless mold

Stand up

Let the truth be told

It’s in the air

That we breathe each day

It’s what we call

The American way

It’s in the way

That we treat each other

We segregate

And we fight our brothers
