The Lyrics

Satire about the loss of civil liberties and constitutional rights due to the misnamed U.S. PATRIOT Act
Laid low... by PATRIOT:
Civil rights, suspended at home.
Laid low... by PATRIOT:
Civil rights, suspended at home.

Post 9-1-1 burden, the Bush monarchy:
Civil rights, suspended at home.
A band of zealots wants theocracy:
Civil rights, suspended at home.

Laid low... by PATRIOT:
Civil rights, suspended at home.
Laid low... by PATRIOT:
Civil rights, suspended at home.

Who approved torture for war; guess who?
Civil rights, suspended at home.
Bush and rich friends, who had staged a coup.
Civil rights, suspended at home.

Laid low... by PATRIOT:
Civil rights, suspended at home.
Laid low... by PATRIOT:
Civil rights, suspended at home.

Bush has f*cked up; his polls are down.
Civil rights, suspended at home.
Iraq black hole, his regime spins 'round.
Civil rights, suspended at home.

Laid low... by PATRIOT:
Civil rights, suspended at home.
Laid low... by PATRIOT:
Civil rights, suspended at home.
