Did they show you how the west was won when you were young?
Did they show you how to hold a gun, how to walk into the setting sun?
Do you believe in freedom advertised?
Do you believe that we've been hypnotized?
We rule the world cause we conquered them all,
with TV dinners and shopping malls.
Did they show you how the west was won?

Did they show you how the war was won when you were young?
Did they tell you not to settle for less,
you're the prodigal son and you can never be done.
Do you believe in freedom advertised?
Do you believe that we've been hypnotized?
We rule the world cause we bought their trust,
with a fist stuffed full of american lust.
