Go ahead and march if you want to   But you'd better be sure that it's right   So, strap on the breastplate of righteousness now   And consider the cause of your fight   If you make your next move with eyes closed and blind   Then you take to the battle on the side we despise   In the ranks of a dark force and not as an army of light      There's a line in the sand of the desert   Which no one has yet to ever cross   So, before you mount up and descend on the foe   Please, stop and consider the cost   Cause there's than we see that stands to be lost   Like the weight of the death of just one albatross   As it hangs like a sword, over your head and questions your cause      We're supposed to be free   But I don't know what to believe   Cause every image I see   Is of people destroying each other, shamelessly   Like the world was a body   And war was the cancer it feeds      But you tell us it's in our best interest   To strike back before it's too late   Our country may suffer another attack   Undefended, if we hesitate   But if we're to believe that our country's so great   Then, beware, lest an unjust war should seal our fate   As an impatient nation whose strength is mistaken for hate      I watched it on my television   The night sky, lit up with your bombs   It's as if you desired the darkness to hide   The shame, soon revealed by the dawn   And it seems a disgrace to disturb nature's calm   So, I'll stand by your flag if it's peace that you want   But don't try to tell me a war is a giving of alms      We're supposed to be free   But I don't know what to believe   Cause every image I see   Is of people destroying each other, shamelessly   Like the world was a body   And war was the cancer it feeds      We're supposed to be free   I don't know what to believe   Cause every image I see   Is anger and fire and hell's fury, unleashed   On a world which delights in making itself bleed   And the need for a sound resolution of peace   Is, indeed, more important than what was foreseen   Now, security seems so far out of reach   Is when we must draw close and resolve to be free      We're supposed to be free   But I don't know what to believe   Cause every image I see   Is of people destroying each other, shamelessly   Like the world was a body   And war was the cancer it feeds      We're supposed to be free   But I don't know what to believe   Cause every image I see   Is of people destroying each other, shamelessly   Like the world was a body   And war was the cancer it feeds   Like the world was a body   And war was the cancer it feeds
