The spirit was freedom and justice
And it´s keepers seem generous and kind
It´s leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won´t pay it no mind
´Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it´s all just an echo of what they´ve been told
Yeah, 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
´Cause there´s a monster on the loose
It´s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching
