The news came down today   A million lives at stake   One nation strives to make   The suffering go away   And bring on a new age      Modern Prophets   See a new way   All that you know is wrong they say   Modern Prophets are gone tomorrow   Hold on to your dreams      Chinese civil war   Ends in blood and gore   Rights we take for granted   Taken all away   Students burn the flag   First amendment rights   Despite the land that lets   Her children desecrate      Their feelings filled with hate
