Does anyone know who sings the song in the video? Here are my "heard lyrics":

Fear, and a mind bent out of shape,
from years in a system meant to make us break,
but I feel strong, I feel strong.

Know it seems like our enemies always win,
but they ain't got nothin' worth envying,
'cause they're still wrong, they're still wrong.

They've got to be dead and rottened out inside,
the way they work to make death out of health and light,
they're so far gone, they're so far gone.

If we've got anything it's something like a fighting chance,
it's what we've got when we're clear about for what we stand,
and we just push on, we just push on.

Spring brings a blooming of treason in my gut,
reminding me of what I want in the end.
Love.

Hitchin' home and I got picked up
by a military man in a big fat truck,
and he wanted to talk about this war.

Said never mind about the double, triple amputees,
nowadays we got some good technologies,
and yes, it's worth it: we're bringin' em democracy.

Well I just kept my mouth shut good and tight,
I wanted to sleep in my bed that night,
and I just quietly took a ride.

But he could not see the treason blooming in my gut.
