American hypocrisy, oh, let me count the ways
典型的美式的虛偽，讓我給你掰開揉碎了講講
They came here seekin' freedom then they end up ownin' slaves

Justified it usin' Christianity which saves

Religion don't mean shit, there's too much ego in the way
宗教也不是什麼好東西，那裡面摻雜了太多骯髒之物
That's why ISIS is a crisis

But in reality this country do the same shit, take a life and call it righteous
而我們這個國家做著和他們一樣的事情，卻被稱為“替天行道”
Remember when Bin Laden got killed, supposedly?
還記得當初他們宣布本。拉。登是“好像”被殺死了嗎
In a hotel lobby after a show, was noticin'

They read the headline and then they all started clappin'

That's called a cycle
這都是一個惡性循環

受虐者變成一名施暴者，這就是我們生活的定式
So understand
和這個道理一樣
Look at the power, but you know what power does to man?
