lyrics
How long, how long, till we stand up and tear down the lines
How long, how long, can we sit here and turn a blind eye
When will we realize that all these petty lies are killing our time
And how could we have it all when it’s already gone
Would we throw down our flags if all that we knew
Turned out a story contrived and untrue
Would we go off to war or be told what to do
I tell you my friend it’s chosen for you
This time it’s gone, gone on way too long, who’s to decide
What’s right, what’s wrong, kings and bloodlines and thieves in disguise
Who made you ruler here, what you touch disappears and never returns
How could we have it all when it’s already all gone
Would we throw down our flags if all that we knew
Turned out a story contrived and untrue
Would we go off to war or be told what to do
I tell you my friend it’s chosen for you
If I burn all my flags will you then plant the seeds
With your tales of extortion, corruption and greed
We’ll all go off to war, fulfilling their needs
I tell you my friend it’s happening indeed
Try and open your eyes and then maybe you’ll see
That the truth has been buried in hypocrisy
Stay one with your land and live faithfully
As we watch all the bodies get laid out to sea
Do not try and do what has always been done
Sweeping truth love and freedom straight under the rug
It is crucial for mankind to learn from mistakes
And do it quickly before this whole world goes to waste
If I burn all my flags will they then plant the seeds
With their tales of extortion, corruption and greed
Will we go off to war, fulfilling their needs
I tell you my friend, it’s happening indeed
When the cities they burn and the fields they drown
We will curse our forsaken emblems and crowns
When the dust has all settled and the tale has been told
Will we rebuild our countries in a world so cold?
