Pacified Lyrics

you've been you've been Americanized
you've been you've been Americanized
you've been you've been American
you've been you've been Americanized
open up your eyes you've been Americanized
open up your eyes

a difference
what we're claiming to make
as we strive to be amused
we sit back in all our comforts as
the world wonders where've we been
we're held captive by U and VHF
well we're prisoners of our own device
doing what's right in our own eyes we forsake the truth to cling to a lie

you've been you've been Americanized
you've been you've been Americanized
you've been you've been American
you've been you've been Americanized
open up your eyes you've been Americanized
open up your eyes

laziness plagues our people
diseased we sit on our hands
hedonism crept in like a snake
but we failed to recognize it
i say it's a foothold he's got on us
or maybe one we've given to him well its time to take it back
i said its time time time to take it back

you've been you've been Americanized
you've been you've been Americanized
you've been you've been American
you've been you've been Americanized
open up your eyes you've been Americanized
open up your eyes

our homes become our tombs
our beds become cocoons
this is not a song of condemnation
this is a call to arms
the lion lies in wait to devour us
we must be ready
the lion lies in wait to devour us
this is a call to arms

you've been you've been Americanized
you've been you've been Americanized
you've been you've been American
you've been you've been Americanized
open up your eyes you've been Americanized
open up your eyes you've been pacified
open up your eyes (open up your eyes) you've been Americanized
open up your eyes (open up your eyes) you've been Americanized
