|
Lies, well they're okay |
|
More elaborate every day |
|
Truth, well it's here too |
|
What can you make it do for you? |
|
Greed, it's just a drive |
|
Do what you can to stay alive |
|
Peace, it's just a dream |
|
So rock and roll and kick and scream |
|
Now won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard? |
|
And if you think the point |
|
I'm driving at absurd |
|
Well, there's no need to tell me how or tell me why |
|
But I need to know the reason not to try' |
|
Cause if you look around you might just feel like me |
|
And you might notice, no one was ever really free |
|
And maybe, just maybe for now that's how it's supposed to be |
|
Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see |
|
The poison has infected you |
|
Have no fear, |
|
I'm infected too |
|
War, they come and go |
|
No telling where the wind will blow |
|
Pain was always there |
|
Sad reminder that you care |
|
Hate, the price you pay |
|
For thinking you got the only way |
|
Now won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard? |
|
And if you think the point |
|
I'm driving at absurd |
|
Well, there's no need to tell me how or tell me why |
|
But I need to know the reason not to try' |
|
Cause if you look around you might just feel like me |
|
And you might notice, no one was ever really free |
|
And maybe, just maybe for now that's how it's supposed to be |
|
Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see |
|
Barely see, barely see, barely see, barely see, let's see |
|
For your parents |
|
Ellis Island |
|
What had they gone through? |
|
And if you descend from the |
|
MayflowerWell they were running too |
|
They were running from |
|
EnglandWho were warring with |
|
FranceWho would conquer |
|
SpainGiven half of a chance |
|
But it was the |
|
MuslimsWho had gotten there first |
|
When there wasn't the bloodshed |
|
Then there was the thirst |
|
And a hate for the |
|
Christians |
|
The infiltrators of |
|
RomeYou know that once mighty empire |
|
Who made Africa home |
|
The poor, |
|
Noble Egyptians |
|
Oh the hardships they braved |
|
Remembering the good times |
|
With Judea enslaved |
|
And the Israelite |
|
NationThe very children of |
|
GodKilling |
|
Palestine's children |
|
And I'm finding it odd |
|
The earth, a piece of fruit |
|
Don't blame |
|
The Maggots when they loot |
|
Life just a game we play |
|
Try to live just one more day |
|
Space, our final hope |
|
Throw the drowning man a rope |
|
The choice is for us to say |
|
Completely change or fade away |
|
Now won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard? |
|
And if you think the point |
|
I'm driving at absurd |
|
Well, there's no need to tell me how or tell me why |
|
But I need to know the reason not to try' |
|
Cause if you look around you might just feel like me |
|
And you might notice, no one was ever really free |
|
And maybe, just maybe for now that's how it's supposed to be |
|
Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see |
|
I really couldn't say for sure |
|
Like everyone else |
|
I knowI'm just looking for the cure |
