Scream into being a new age

They tell us to be quiet when we haven't said a thing
They demand our worship with solemn songs to sing
They have a vision requiring a belief and obedience
But I refuse to conform and refuse any acquiescence
We are lost, what more can they possibly take away
Watching as our rights are lost, limited, diminished
This is not America, our ascendancy is finished
This is not a land of free speech and thought
This is not the land that we were promised
Not a land worthy of the sacrifice bought
We need a new way and we need it today
Before we fall victim to mindless rage
Anger has become the living wage
