Where were you the day they stole our innocence?
|
And arranged a sacrifice for everyone in town.
|
Drove the words yet to be written underground
|
To save the money on the kerosene they need.
|
Were you awake or were you sleeping?
|
Or just too afraid to disagree?
|
|
Well I don't wanna sing about freedom anymore.
|
I wanna see it! I wanna feel it!
|
I wanna know that it still sits beyond the lies that we've been told
|
beyond the wars that keep our families from home,
|
I know that there's a way.
|
Dear God, let there be a way
|
to change the path we're on (path we're on).
|
..and believe in a better day.
|
|
|
Our dreams are their worst nightmares, these songs a call to arms
|
we can dance on the graves that held us, we can change the course of time
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Stand up and fight, save yourself,
|
strike, the time is now
|
You and me, we are more like sheep, (more like sheep)
|
forced to march crippled feet to the slaughter
|
|
I'll stand on principle, banner lifted and a fist raised high
|
Filthy soul with a patriot heart, dancing rhythms in a world apart
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
But you and me, we can live like thieves
|
on the dreams that we stole from their fears
|
|
Casting pearls before swine, hanging dead on the vine
|
Can we strive to be so much more than this?
|
[x2]
|
|
You and me, we are more like sheep, (more like sheep)
|
forced to march crippled feet to the slaughter
|
to the slaughter
|
to the slaughter
|
to the slaughter
|
