Lyrics
English: 'Cause the people got fat and grew lazy / Now their vote is like a meaningless joke / You know they talk about law, about order / But it's all just an echo of what they've been told / 'Cause there's a monster on the loose / It's got our heads into a noose / And it just sits there watchin' / Our cities have turned into jungles / And corruption is stranglin' the land / The police force is watching the people / And the people just can't understand / We don't know how to mind our own business / 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us / Now we are fighting a war over there / No matter who's the winner, we can't pay the cost / America where are you now? / Don't you care about your sons and daughters? / Don't you know we need you now / We can't fight alone against the monster
