{chorus lyrics}
I got my propaganda, I got revisionism
I got my violence in hi-def ultra realism!
All a part of this great nation;
I got my fist, I got my plan,
I got Survivalism!
I got my propaganda, I got revisionism
I got my violence in hi-def ultra realism!
All a part of this great nation;
I got my fist, I got my plan,
I got Survivalism!
