Joybuzzard - Zen and the Fine Art of Paranoia Lyrics

Fences around the city
Fences around the park
Fence around your house cause your not going out after dark
Fences around your leaders
Who have fences around their minds
Fences while we stompmout all the dangers we can find
What if we constantly meditate on nothing but our own safety
Find new dangers not seen previously
Can we all relax, after we've patched ip all the cracks
In the cleanest, safest prison we can be

My country 'tis of they
Steel barricades and pepper spray
While I just want to know why my country is becoming a jail
They take all our rights and freedoms away
Tell us to tell ourselves we asked for it this way
Well I'm sorry I won't eat that shit mister
Cause for some stupid reason I still love my country
For some stupid reason I still love my country

My country tis of they
Steel barricades and pepper spray while I
Just want to know why my country is up for sale
They take all our rights and freedoms away
Told us to tell ourselves we asked for it this way
Well I'm so sorry I won't eat that shit mister
Cause for some stupid reason I still love my country
For some stupid reason I still love my country
For some stupid reason I still love my country
For some stupid reason I still love my country

Our land, water, cops and jobs
Were sold to someone else
By people we elected
Turns out they're paid to serve themselves
We took it to the streets, determined to speak our minds
We got beat down for it 'cause they've drawn the battle lines
I know it's happened a few times before
Still couldn't nelieve I saw
Cities here in my homeland that are under martial law
We thought those cops and soldiers were on our side
But we've been tricked
The nation turns against itself
And democracy is sick

My country 'tis of they
Steel barricades and pepper spray
While I just wamt to know why my country is becoming a jail
They take all our rights and freedoms away
Tell us to tell ourselves we asked for it that way
Well I'm sorry I won't eat that shit, mister
Cause for some stupid reason I still love my country
For some stupid reason I still love my country
They put cameras in the bathroom
You don't bother to resist
It's what they do to protect you from drug lords and terrorists
But the war on crime, the war on drugs, the war on terrorists
Are all just smokescreens for the cuffs they're wrapping around our wrists
So ring the bells, sound the alarm, hark the truth's been robbed
By a media pretending not to know that oppression is an inside job

My country 'tis of they
Steel barricades and pepper spray
While I just want to know why my country is becoming a jail
They took all our rights and freedoms away
Told us to tell ourselves we asked for it that way
Well I'm sorry I won't eat that shit, mister
Cause for some stupid reason I still love my country
For some stupid reason I still love my country
For some stupid reason I still love my country
