Half Mast Lyrics - Born Against

When freedom is in hiding from morality when you've finally scrubbed this 

great land clean of those values you hold in such high esteem when you've 

finally divorced the numbers from the names we can return to your good old 

days bound and gagged by sex and race chained by family crazed by god while 

we raise the flag shout down the past the stars and stripes stream by at 

half mast your eyes well up with tears and yeah so do mine I never knew the 

high price of hypocrisy so pledge allegiance to the death penalty believe in 

your drug war bow down to the tv set you need to cultivate that apathy that 

swells inside your threat raise the flag shout down the past your stars and 

stripes stream by at half mast your eyes well up with tears and yeah so do 

mine half mast dehumanized half mast divided half mast overloaded half mast 

who the fuck cares so long as you can sleep well under the iron fist.
