Indoctrinate

Hand over heart, then we proceed to recite the words barely knowing what they mean
Chauvinistic national identity that we breed through every single pedigree
Feeding inhibition
Rejection of analysis
Not the intended vision for the maintenance of progress

They wrote our history on single sided pages
Fed it to us war by war
Had us all persuaded
America "the brave," America "the free"
Somehow could do no wrong and we followed it blindly

Hand over heart, then we proceed to recite the words questioning priority
Chauvinistic national identity spread throughout American history

Spread control through biased information

Rhetoric and propagation assert itself into our education
I won't accept, start the confrontation
America - false representation

Progress halts when criticism is met with pride
Dogmatic, pretentious, diluted
Open your mind

Hand over heart, then we proceed to recite the words even though we don't agree
Chauvinistic national identity and I swear to god, it will end with me

Bow to no man
Pray to no god
Pledge to no flag
