Like a rock through a mosque in Jerusalem
|
a bullet through the head in Vietnam
|
a cannon through the wall at Antietam
|
or the army through the people in Tiananmen
|
well our history is rife (that's right)
|
with examples of our disregard for human life
|
so we imitate what we see (TV)
|
and we follow this culture
|
right down to our knees
|
and I don't see it getting any better today
|
until we replace our priorities over our pay
|
and the only world that we ever seem to know
|
is based on aquaintances and TV shows
|
another degredation, self revelation,
|
rocks through the veil of one antoher liberation
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Response...to action
|
Trigger...synapses
|
Conditioned...reaction
|
|
Is this what you call free?
|
|
Like a rock through a mosque in Jerusalem
|
a bullet through the head in Vietnam
|
a cannon through the wall at Antietam
|
or the army through the people in Tiananmen
|
well our history is rife (that's right)
|
with examples of our disregard for human life
|
so we imitate what we see (TV)
|
and we follow this culture
|
right down to our knees
|
and I don't see it getting any better today

and the only world that we ever seem to know
