We know when you’re sleeping, and when you’re awake

But if you’ve been good, you need not be afraid

‘Cause we have got everything under con, under control

Just relax...

And if you don’t like it, well you can just leave 
       B              A         D              B 
If you think George Washington evolved from an ape

You should be locked up, in the 51st State

As we’re multiplying, the world’s on the brink 
    B                D         A            B 
But that’s just what the Devil wants you to think 
      B         A              D         B 
Don’t ever stop shoppin’ don’t ever give in

‘Cause if we stop shoppin’ the terrorists win

We’re reading your mail, and tapping your phone

And if you don’t like it, we’ll send in the drones 
   B           A        D               B 
Oh say can you see, the twilight’s last gleam

The land of the free, the home of the naïve
