This song tells a story about a country divided by a group of leaders who took advantage of a horrible event for political and corporate gain and ended up putting us in another horrible situation.

Lyrics
A dark cloud hangs over America today
World opinion is at its lowest
and our jobs have gone away.
We're lied to and cheat by the people at the top
Unless we stand up and take some action
this ain't ever gonna stop
So who are all these fellas
in the whitehouse today
who have us wave the flag
then take our liberties away
Well, there's Ashcroft and Wolfowitz, there Donald Rumsfield too.
There's Cheney and Karl Rove and their screwing me and you
They Snuck into the whitehouse where they're pulling Dubya's Strings
The manipulated leader
Yeah he is our puppet king
They're the men behind the curtains
the creators of the lies
they hijacked 9/11 and now our soldiers die
They are the Neocons
The missions not accomplished
Bin Laden is still on the run
Saddam was just a smokescreen to make us think some job was done
And while the war still rages
with our troops still taking hits
those fat-cats up in D.C. cut thier veterans benefits.
But there are taxcuts for the wealthy
who laugh all the way to the bank
While our poorest families struggle
and the economy is in the tank
So where are all those weapons
how they've strangely disappeared
Its becoming fairly obvious
they were never really here
a war thats based on lies
and intelligece thats rotten
now whens the last time you've even heard Bush mentioning Bin Laden
It Seems hes forgotten.
