The Effort - Made In China lyrics

Perfect, just perfect Perfect, we're all worthless Perfect, just like an airbrushed cover They'll want us to be And we'll be perfect When pretty facades are all we've chosen to see Lead around Like horses With our blinders on Can't you see It's a way of controlling our minds? Can't you see That this country is so far gone? We've been broken down We have been ashamed Our minds have been bound And we're taught to live afraid Just so these rich f**s That are working in buildings That can touch the clouds Can make even just one more cent Off of our suffering And to make Sam proud Sam, are you proud? Sam, are you proud? Sam, are you proud? Well Sam, are you proud? Well Sam, are you proud? Well Sam, are you proud? Well Sam, are you proud? And this is why I've disliked the bald eagle It's an accurate representation Of all this country's evils An arrogant bird That flies above all in the sky Then feeds off their bones Long after they've died So now you can understand Why I've always felt animosity When reminded of these times Of childhood hostility Did you really think We wouldn't grow bitter When you force young students To pray at flags Made in China? Are you proud? I've spoken of communities And changing for you and me I've asked people to be As strong as they can And to lend a helping hand To your fellow man But I'm still rotting on the inside And the outside all over, With not enough makeup That can even come close to cover That our minds have been manipulated By the five corporations And then s**ed into the vacuum Of their occupation.
