==Lyrics==
===Version One===
Why don't you just shut up, 
don't you know that we will never listen? 
We can shine you with our stars, 
we can freeze you with our prisons 
We're the rats on a sinking ship, 
we'll sell your cruelty like it was dope 
It's not money that makes you free, 
not the little things that give you hope

Team USA 
We don't even try 
It takes everything we have to believe in a lie

You're not a tourist here, you don't belong 
But you're free to drift across the sidewalks and streets 
Frozen seas of ectoplasm and gum 
Free to see the world inside a white sheet 
And your freedoms, they cost too much 
People have to die to pay your hollow shell 
You better buy what we're selling you, my dear, 
or else you can just go to hell

Team USA 
We buy and buy 
And we'll never stop paying 
We believe in a lie

Got the spirit of uniforms and threats 
We like to rap chains at all those who doubt 
who are haunted 'cause they can't forget 
what being free was supposed to be about 
And it's a scream when our master speaks, 
you don't wanna look but ooh you must 
You can always see him in the faces we break 
You can always hear him in the voices we crush

Team USA 
will never die 
Everyone becomes a ghost 
who believes in a lie

After all our prisoners are released 
will they bring us the benefit of all they learned? 
Like the anchor that chains us to the beast, 
the future we are very happy to burn 

Team USA 
We're flying so high 
You give us everything we need 
to believe in a lie 
to believe in a lie

===Version Two===
Team USA are locking up their hearts 
They know the heart is the biggest traitor 
Team USA are losing a war 
and now they're suspicious of any good behavior 
They're like rats on a sinking ship 
they know only cruelty gives them hope 
They wanna be the city or at least its bitch 
Money makes you free, not your vote

Yeah they gave up 
Now they don't wanna try 
It takes everything you have 
to believe in a lie 

If you're not a tourist here, you don't belong 
But you're free to drift across the sidewalks and streets 
Frozen seas of ectoplasm and chewing gum 
Free to get numb, see the world inside a white sheet 
Free to have the freedom to forget 
Because they'll make you pay whatever truth you tell 
You better buy what they sell you, my dear, 
or else you can just go to hell

Now they gave up 
and now they just buy and buy 
and you never stop paying 
when you believe in a lie

They're all buying uniforms and threats 
They wanna rattle chains at all those who still doubt 
who are haunted 'cause they just can't forget 
what being free was supposed to be about 
Now see the chill in the air when the master speaks 
You don't wanna look, but ooh, you must 
You can always see him in the faces they break 
You can always hear him in the voices they crush

Yeah, they gave up 
but it takes them so long to die 
Everyone becomes a ghost 
who believes in a lie

After the soldiers and prisoners are released 
Will they bring us the benefit of what they learned 
Yeah the anchor that chains us to the beast 
a history we were happy to burn

Team USA 
You can't touch 'em, they always fly so high 
They'll sell you liquor and pills 
to help you believe in a lie 
to believe in a lie
