| Undress the hate
|
| Your tired hands
|
| Begin to shake
|
| Your so worn out
|
| War torn indifferent
|
| You lie among the cobwebs in your hiding place
|
| You take another pill and float away, yeah
|
| And you, you were born to the rule the world
|
| And you could have changed the future
|
| But you didn’t realize what it took to pay the price
|
| You were born to rule the world
|
| But you couldn’t tell the future
|
| Can you look into the eyes
|
| Of the innocent who’ve died
|
| You were born to rule the world- yes you
|
| You were born to rule the world
|
| We call your name
|
| The same name that’s always been
|
| From the dawn of time
|
| We need your help
|
| To save us from ourselves
|
| We turn to the guilty and religious right
|
| We try to understand the reasons why? |
| why?
|
| That you-
|
| You you were born to rule the world
|
| And you came to change the future
|
| We could not realize
|
| Why you gladly paid the price
|
| You were born to rule the world
|
| And you died to make us listen
|
| A Human sacrifice
|
| Can we look into your eyes
|
| You were born to rule the world
|
| You were born to rule the world
|
| You were born to rule the world
|
| (musical bridge)
|
| And you, you were born to the world
|
| And you came to change the future
|
| And you didn’t criticize
|
| You just laid it on the line
|
| You were born to rule the world
|
| The magic and the lesson
|
| A Human sacrifice
|
| Can we look into your eyes
|
| Can we look into your eyes
|
| Will we look into your eyes
|
| Will we look into your eyes?
|
| (outro voice)
|
| Sure enough cooking is our own fate
|
| And not everyone thinks about the human race
|
| Even when were all swimming in the same big lake
|
| You know everyone listens but they never change
|
| Too many people want to just kill the pain
|
| But all of us need to hear that voice again
|
| Yeshua
|
| Oh my god, there’s something changing
|
| That we didn’t know
|
| 'firing line'
|
| Guilty as charged
|
| Take another life
|
| No one here but me to blame
|
| Take another life
|
| Guilty as charged
|
| They saw us coming
|
| From miles away
|
| Jubilant train
|
| Wearing a pink boa and feathers like an exotic bird
|
| Double headed
|
| Breathing smoke
|
| Looking for a line to quote
|
| Waiting to jump the rope
|
| To change the vote
|
| To witness hope
|
| In the newest thing
|
| Called freedom
|
| But they said 'no way'
|
| And they wore the same coats
|
| Khaki brown and faded
|
| Typed at the same machines
|
| And tried to box up all the dreams
|
| In neat little packages
|
| Like widgets for the factory
|
| All the while watching big brother watching
|
| Big brother watching
|
| Big brother watching…
|
| 'but we are crashing gates
|
| And we are passing over the gate keepers"
|
| We are the new
|
| And we are marching like a jubilant train
|
| Through your towns
|
| Past your landscapes of lame ducks
|
| Past the lines of indifference
|
| Past the stormtroopers of compromise
|
| The deputies of damage control
|
| The officers of fear
|
| As they hand out their tickets to the deaf and the dumb and the younger ones
|
| To the very old, the influential, the disturbed, the zealots, the sheltered,
|
| the innocent
|
| We pass through the gates
|
| Like the dawning of a new age
|
| Like the turning of a new page
|
| Like the birth of a new son
|
| Like freedom
|
| On a roll
|
| Wearing nothing but a smile on our faces
|
| And our hands up in the air
|
| Its a future love song |
