Semblance of Liberty |
| Born to fight, and we’re born to flee |
| Doomed to live on ecstasy |
| Born to lie, and we’re born to cheat |
| Look in the mirror, who do you see? |
| Born to flee, and we’re born to fight |
| Without your mask, you’re terrified |
| Don’t hide your personality |
| That’s who you are, your identity |
| If the virtues of tomorrow |
| Cause the greed of today |
| We won’t have a future |
| Nor liberty |
| Born to breathe, and we’re born to pursue |
| That’s all we are supposed to do |
| The semblance of our liberty |
| Is nothing more than slavery |
| Born to flee, and we’re born to fight |
| Is it failure that’s our delight? |
| Born to cheat, and we’re born to lie |
| Look at yourself, have you lost your mind? |
| If the virtues of tomorrow |
| Cause the greed of today |
| We won’t have a future |
| And no more liberty |
| If the virtues of tomorrow |
| Set the need on the way |
| We won’t have a future nor liberty |
| Private vice leads to public virtue |
| Raised to think that we are free |
| Living in our caves |
| Being slaves |
| We lost control of our lives |
| At the mercy of the waves |
| Massive waves |
| Blind to see what’s going on |
| Conditioned as we are |
| And we are |
| We lost control of our greed |
| But now we face it all |
| Face our fall |
| Keeping all that we’ve created |
| And consuming all that’s possible |
| Reaching deep into temptation |
| Nothing can stop us |
| Guarantee our hard-earned profits |
| Multiplied ten-fold if possible |
| Reaching out for new redemption |
| Nothing avails our needs |
| My opponent won’t rule out raising taxes. |
| But I will, and The Congress will push me to raise taxes and I’ll say no. |
| And they’ll push, and I’ll say no, and they’ll push again, and I’ll say to them: |
| Read my lips |
| If the virtues of tomorrow |
| Set the need on the way |
| We never had a future anyway |
| We had no future 'till today |
| Time and tide |
| Will not wait for anyone |
