Lies, well they're o.k.   More elaborate every day   Truth, well it's here too   What can you make it do for you?   Greed it's just a drive   Do what you can to stay alive   Peace, it's just a dream   So rock and roll and kick and scream      Now won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard?   And if you think the point I'm driving at absurd   well there'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 that's how it's supposed to be   Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see      The poison has infected you   Have no fear I'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 won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard?   And if you think the point I'm driving at absurd   Well there'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 that's how it's supposed to be   Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see   Barely see, barely see, barely see, barely see, let's see      For your parents Ellis Island   What had they gone through?   And if you descend from the Mayflower   Well they ere 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 Muslims   Who had gotten there first   When there wasn'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 Palestine's children   And I'm finding it odd   The Earth, a piece of fruit   Don'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 won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard?   And if you think the point I'm driving at absurd   Well there'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 that's how it's supposed to   Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see      I really couldn't say for sure   Like everyone else I know   I'm just looking for the cure
