Onslaught |
| Lies, well theyre o.k. |
| More elaborate every day |
| Truth, well its here too |
| What can you make it do for you? |
| Greed, its just a drive |
| Do what you can to stay alive |
| Peace, its just a dream |
| So rock and roll and kick and scream |
| Now wont you tell me if you like what youve just heard? |
| And if you think the point Im driving at absurd |
| Well theres 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 thats how its supposed to be Could be so far weve only earned the right to barely see |
| The poison has infected you |
| Have no fear Im 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 wont you tell me if you like what youve just heard? |
| And if you think the point Im driving at absurd |
| Well theres 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 thats how its supposed to be Could be so far weve only earned the right to barely see |
| Barely see, barely see, barely see, barely see, lets 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 wasnt 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 palestines children |
| And Im finding it odd |
| The earth, a piece of fruit |
| Dont 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 wont you tell me if you like what youve just heard? |
| And if you think the point Im driving at absurd |
| Well theres 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 thats how its supposed to be Could be so far weve only earned the right to barely see |
| I really couldnt say for sure |
| Like everyone else I know |
| Im just looking for the cure |
