Lies, well theyand're o.k.
more elaborate every day
truth, well itand's here too
what can you make it do for you?
greed, itand's just a drive
do what you can to stay alive
peace, itand's just a dream
so rock and roll and kick and scream
Now wonand't you tell me if you like what youand've just heard?
and if you think the point iand'm driving at absurd
well thereand'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 thatand's how itand's supposed to be
could be so far weand've only earned the right to barely see
I really couldnand't say for sure
like everyone else i know
iand'm just looking for the cure
The poison has infected you
have no fear iand'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 wonand't you tell me if you like what youand've just heard?
and if you think the point iand'm driving at absurd
well thereand'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 thatand's how itand's supposed to be
could be so far weand've only earned the right to barely see
barely see, barely see, barely see, barely see, letand's see...
For your parents ellis island
what had they gone through?
and if you descend from the mayflower
well they were running too
they were running from england
who were warring with france
who would conquer spain
given half of a chance
but it was the moslems
who had gotten there first
when there wasnand't the bloodshed
then there was the thirst
and a hate for the christians
the infiltrators of rome
you 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 nation
the very children of god
killing palestineand's children
and iand'm finding it odd
The earth, a piece of fruit
donand'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 wonand't you tell me if you like what youand've just heard?
and if you think the point iand'm driving at absurd
well thereand'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 noone was ever really free
and maybe, just maybe for now thatand's how itand's supposed to be
could be so far weand've only earned the right to barely see
I really couldnand't say for sure
like everyone else i know
iand'm just looking for the cure
