New American Century

[Verse 1: Sascha Konietzko]

Count your blessings, walk the line

Don't move too fast or fall behind

There are rules you must obey

They get rewritten by the day

Don't do this, don't say that

Your every move is logged and tracked

By the all-oppressive eye

Spy satellites in friendly skies

[Pre-Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli]

The new American century

Has only just begun

No one exempt from the tragedy

Counterattack, start pushing back

[Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko]

Fight the power

That chokes your speech

Fight the power

That makes you bleed

Fight the power

That propagates lies

To keep you weak

Keep you in line

[Verse 2: Sascha Konietzko]

No one dares to say a word

Our panic drives all human herds

In the land where cash is king

Our silence bought and sold for free

The future's banging on our door

When Real ID will be the law

Love thy neighbor, turn him in

It's called patriotism

[Pre-Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli]

The world is watching in disbelief

Chanting "shame on you"

How can you stand by so quietly

Letting them rape your liberties?

[Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko]

Fight the power

That chokes your speech

Fight the power

That makes you bleed

Fight the power

That propagates lies

To keep you weak

Keep you in line

Fight the power

That reigns you in

Divides and conquers

Defines your sin

Fight the power

For one and all

Before the power

Swallows us whole

[Bridge: Sascha Konietzko]

"Those who cannot learn from history

Are doomed to repeat it!"

You can't be bothered or concerned

You see no reason for alarm

Prejudice, religion, hate

Usher in the new mandate

Absolute and resolved

One nation under one god

Lack of interest has its price

As we're stripped of all our rights

[Pre-Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko]

The new American century

Repeat it! Repeat it!

The new American century

Repeat it! Repeat it!

[Chorus: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko]

Fight the power

That chokes your speech

Fight the power

That makes you bleed

Fight the power

That propagates lies

To keep you weak

Keep you in line

Fight the power

That reigns you in

Divides and conquers

Defines your sin

Fight the power

For one and all

Before the power

Swallows us whole

Fight the power
