Old man at the side of the road
Eating grass just to keep from dying
No photos allowed to tell the truth
No food, just tanks and guns
Little girl in the classroom is told
To drink her milk from a tealiter
Controls her past with her present,
It's AKs, wood grenades and cunning
Blind loyalty to erratic and
Two nations brainwashed into war
On opposite sides of the world
Countries perpetually at war
Smart cookie, now a kid can't speak
Can't see, can't hear, can't breathe
Fire and fury like the world
Can't you see you're just
The need to win, but not to understand
Bombs dropped on every inch of land
Blind loyalty to erratic and
Two nations brainwashed into war
On opposite sides of the world
The right to freedom of speech,
writing and action is often trivial in isolation and cumulative in their effect,
leads to a general disrespect
for the rights of the citizen.
If you stick yourself to it,
you can live the same life, rich or poor
You can keep up with your books,
You just have to say to yourself,
Blind loyalty to erratic and
Two nations brainwashed into war
On opposite sides of the walls,
Countries perpetually at war
Countries perpetually at war
Countries perpetually at war
Countries perpetually at war
Countries perpetually at war
