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 were 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 noone 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
  
  I really couldn't say for sure
  Like everyone else I know
  I'm just looking for the cure
