[Chorus]
Truth is eternally treason
In the empire
Empire of lies
[Post-Chorus]
For our empire muzzles the lips
Of a savior who howls corruption
His exploration of reality
Has ruffled the feathers of a starving vulture
[Refrain]
Classified America breeds and multiplies
Vastly shrouded from us and even itself
[Verse 1]
A dark bureaucracy devoted to protecting us
Lurks beneath our corroding democratic practice
How will anyone create change
When we cannot see inside this dark machine?
[Refrain]
Classified America breeds and multiplies
Vastly shrouded from us and even itself
[Verse 2]
An era where a military-political demon
Is hidden from all scrutiny
We must ask ourselves:
But who watches the watchmen?
[Chorus]
Truth is eternally treason
In the empire of lies
Truth is eternally treason
In the empire of lies
[Solo]
[Post-Chorus]
For our empire
Muzzles the lips of a savior who howls corruption
[Refrain]
Classified America breeds and multiplies
Vastly shrouded from us and even
And even itself
And even itself
[Outro]
Classified America breeds and multiplies
