Lyrics

I won't apologize for my beliefs because you don't like what you hear-
I won't censor my words because it's the truth that you fear- I won't
Pretend to smile or look the other way- I won't sit and watch our priorities
Decay- you watch the 11:00 news and believe what you hear- flush away their
Sins- dispose of your convictions- water down the truth- join the parade-
When the team you root for wins we can blindly celebrate- grab a bowl of
Popcorn- watch the showdown in iraq- in between commercials drink another
Beer- every minute lost in front of the television is another bit of
Knowledge never to be seen again- convenience, apathy, faith, comfort-
Call it what you please- take another percussette- then maybe you'll
Sleep at ease- but while you mind is dreaming more are being oppressed-
You can close your eyes while children are put to rest- it's not 1984
Anymore and the reagan years are over- it's terror that we fear in our
Post-9/11 world- "either you're with us or you're with the terrorist"
The village idiot once stated- if you ask me anthrax is not what I'm
Most afraid of.- we can build something with these ashes floating in
The air- or we can let them settle to the ground- but one day a tree
Will grow through this cold, hard mud- and history will resurface
Into a new life form
