If you haven't heard
I'm an American hero
But an eagle's just a bird
I've found the cure (he's found the cure)
For all of this evil
But they won't hear a word
(...Capitalism is a paradox,
Democracy is an illusion,
And no one seems to notice.
It's time we re-define progress...)
When you take the path most taken
Your greed seems to be awakened
So take it from me
If you're ready to see
A better way to be
A cleaner way to breathe!
When you get the chance to leave
Please take me (oh please take me)
All your pills and all your medicine
Won't save you from
This life of empty innocence
If it's all you want!
(...If the people teaching us are bias, we're not learning
We're being trained to perpetuate this proletariat cliche...)

(I can't breathe)
I want to know what it's like
What it's like to breathe
Without lungs like these
Lungs like these
If you haven't heard
I'm an American hero
But an eagle's just a bird
I've found the cure (he's found the cure)
For all of this evil
But they won't hear a word
I can't breathe
