My eyes have seen the glory of all that we could be And shed tears of all we are not. Complacent, obedient worker bees assimilate the simulation To be all we can be As seen on TV. Ever blinded by humanity's vanity Oblivious to the ripple we set in motion From cast stones And convincing ourselves we're all alone Even when we're together.
We turn our backs to missed opportunities Cast carelessly aside like unused condoms And dirty neadles in the alleys Behind our chrunches. Where all too often we're taught That there's just enough religion in the world to theach us hate But not enough to make us love... And Jesus wept...
Star-spangled gangbangers Brainwashed to belive that Killing is the only way to live And that you need to take to give.
After all, tell someone that they're worthless Long enough and they begin to Belive it.
Once we fought for freedom of speech Nowdays the people who fought against it Wave it like a flag While having the audacity to cry "equality" All the while, addicted to the notion That there must always be an enemy At the root of all of our problems. Never taking the time to look in a mirror And reflect.
The truth is simple Divided we stand United we fall.
And in the end There will be no tears of sadness Or cheers of victory. Just silence And a hopeful curiosity of What will rise from the fall...
