the laws that govern society
stifle all creativity
the music our heart sings
will a jail cell bring
no one's allowed to draw, sing or write
unless it's approved by the censors right
the generation before us believed all their lies
but when we were young we looked in their eyes
war and poverty was the name of their game
but terrorism was where they lay the blame
to keep us all same when they took away our rights
told us what to think by the dawn's early light
for asking questions they would take you away
lobotomize you for your own good they would say
god forgive you should disagree
republicans made that the death penalty
sometimes late at night we would whisper & sing
about all the joys that freedom would bring
if only we could be free this hour
by getting rid of the people in power
i can't say if the ending's good or bad
only that the situation makes me sad
we seek peace and nothing more
as cattled minds march off to war
the future is no for all to see
battle the rush of insanity
