[00:19.46]Handed down from fathers to sons
[00:22.08]Was the hatred of weakness and the love of guns
[00:25.26]A talk of peace but not in our time
[00:28.17]To save our souls and stop the crime
[00:31.27]Onwards and upwards but going nowhere
[00:34.25]So how many now truthfully swear
[00:37.30]That they do no evil - see no wrong
[00:40.45]The ad-mass agents, the writers of song
[00:43.51]The bankers, the poets, the modern day seers
[00:46.99]Clouding an issue that was never quite clear
[00:50.00]Sent through the ages of boy to man
[00:53.15]The living testament of making a stand
[00:56.24]Killing the wicked then raising the dead
[00:59.32]Eating propaganda and bullshit spoon fed
[01:02.48]Grasping for wisdom, but thick all the same
[01:05.62]So how many innocents now can claim
[01:08.57]That they play with fire - and get burnt
[01:11.75]And through the same mistakes never get learnt
[01:14.92]Hoping for a time it will fall to place
[01:17.98]Faith shall show as our saving grace
[01:21.01]Handed down from god with love
[01:24.16]Was the whole wide world and some above
[01:27.24]But not content to share the land
[01:30.34]Greed was shown the winning hand
[01:33.45]And those whose greed was the strongest of all
[01:36.56]Took upon themselves to lead the call
[01:39.60]That some must work while other rest
[01:42.74]Without the question of what is best
[01:45.83]The leaders, the losers and the kings
[01:48.91]Pass the rifle butt that tyranny brings
[01:52.00]Passed on over to the chosen few
[01:55.08]Was the promise of freedom with a breadline queue
[01:58.20]Ghetto's, gateaux and eating it too
[02:01.30]Forcing it all down with a cola brew
[02:04.42]The first amendment and the hunt for reds
[02:07.49]A conscious contradiction with something said
[02:10.59]That they see no evil - with eyes shut tight
[02:13.78]A ****ing culture that offers no fight
[02:16.88]Dragged from birth - drugged to death
[02:20.00]The common excuse is 'just being yourself'
[02:23.12]Hand us down before it's too late
[02:26.24]The strength and wisdom to change our state
[02:29.35]Governed by evil and all it will bring
[02:32.44]I can't wait for the day they do the lamppost swing
[02:35.53]And no mercy should they be shown
[02:38.65]For you cannot reason with the devil's own
[02:41.77]They say, they hear no evil - hands clasped tight
[02:44.88]To shut out the victims' screams of ol' uncle sam fights
[02:48.06]He sweats and he strains as his boney frame comes -
[02:51.27]Into the womb of an innocent one
