Once united 
Now divided
Truth derided 
Lies confided

Given the illusion of choice
Then they drown out your voice
Justified by a so called necessary means
The ends we have met have failed us
So miserably

We broke our backs to build them an empire
The least they could do is reward us with liberty
There's no denying our courage
But when was the last time that you felt free
Only the wealthiest prosper
None left for you and me
What has it done for us lately
Righteous democracy

Pushing the rift open wider
We've lost the art of debate
Condemning those with different ideals
Can't you see the way that you're spreading hate

Choke on your words as you gaze upon
This better world you were so desperate to create

We broke our backs to build them an empire
The least they could do is reward us with liberty
There's no denying our courage
But when was the last time that you felt free
Only the wealthiest prosper
None left for you and me
What has it done for us lately
Righteous democracy

The only way up is down
The only way in is out 
And every right we concede just prolongs the bleeding
We're guessing pretending we know
In decline we'll never grow
When will everyone see that the future is fleeting

We broke our backs to build them an empire
The least they could do is reward us with liberty
There's no denying our courage
But when was the last time that you felt free
Only the wealthiest prosper
None left for you and me
What has it done for us lately
Righteous democracy
