Lyrics

I hear the whisper on the television Listening to men with ideas but no Vision, so I'm telling you to stop, sit Back and listen, if you don't you won't Know what you are missing Is there anything the small can do About war? No towers of wealth but a March for freedom call, when will we See these empires fall, let it hurt like a Kick in the balls Now the masked men marching, the Question is when? A billion brothers Multiplied by ten, sucking vampires of Your mente, what about the ones so Poor that they beg for the end to come But there's no where to go to be sent, Walking for miles and the same road Bends, in to a city owned by the same Men, who own the streets, media, lives And rent What you gonna do when your arms Unfold busy standing listening and Doing what you're told when your mind Awake and your heart lying cold what You gonna do when alone Send them kids to war, to get a bullet In the head and tell them what they're Living for just send them kids to war For a worthy cause what are you Fighting for? Think you're fightin for a Reason not a kick in the balls and they Go and send them kids to war... So why you wanna turn a blind Eye, when you hear it and see dumb Politicians lie, But you turn the other way and ignore Lives, taken by the ones you pay your Tax to abide, send your sons and Daughters away to die, paid for by Yourselves and wave goodbye, they Control every aspect of your life, so Get your assets on the floor and don't Ask why Play by the rules they never make sense, You pay your road tax, vat and pay Again, big brother has trapped you but You wanna ask when are we gonna wake Up see and find zen? But you never Really put the effort in, ignorance is Bliss so you let these kids fend for Themselves like they've got no friends, Who give a shit that they life is coming To an end And for what? What are you dying for? The government sending you to fight Their wars, you break this down and They bridge those walls, what are you Dying for?
