Lyrics
I hear the whisper on the television
Listening to men with ideas but no
Vision, so I'm telling you to stop, sit
Back and listen, if you don't you won't
Know what you are missing
Is there anything the small can do
About war? No towers of wealth but a
March for freedom call, when will we
See these empires fall, let it hurt like a
Kick in the balls
Now the masked men marching, the
Question is when? A billion brothers
Multiplied by ten, sucking vampires of
Your mente, what about the ones so
Poor that they beg for the end to come
But there's no where to go to be sent,
Walking for miles and the same road
Bends, in to a city owned by the same
Men, who own the streets, media, lives
And rent
What you gonna do when your arms
Unfold busy standing listening and
Doing what you're told when your mind
Awake and your heart lying cold what
You gonna do when alone
Send them kids to war, to get a bullet
In the head and tell them what they're
Living for just send them kids to war
For a worthy cause what are you
Fighting for? Think you're fightin for a
Reason not a kick in the balls and they
Go and send them kids to war...
So why you wanna turn a blind
Eye, when you hear it and see dumb
Politicians lie,
But you turn the other way and ignore
Lives, taken by the ones you pay your
Tax to abide, send your sons and
Daughters away to die, paid for by
Yourselves and wave goodbye, they
Control every aspect of your life, so
Get your assets on the floor and don't
Ask why
Play by the rules they never make sense,
You pay your road tax, vat and pay
Again, big brother has trapped you but
You wanna ask when are we gonna wake
Up see and find zen? But you never
Really put the effort in, ignorance is
Bliss so you let these kids fend for
Themselves like they've got no friends,
Who give a shit that they life is coming
To an end
And for what? What are you dying for?
The government sending you to fight
Their wars, you break this down and
They bridge those walls, what are you
Dying for?
