Our fathers promised us A land free from tyranny Centuries of disgust Oh, how sly we humans be In '85 I was born I heard, "What luck! To live free!" And learned an empty heart Is so much better than one filled with greed Without the lies I've been told I may Have never realized the truth at all We've built a nation far from The brick and mortar misery they call A more perfect union My mistakes as a man cannot amount to what they collectively carry out As an ant alone can bite, but without the colony there is no fight Forgive and let it go Why can't we forget and let it go We never forgive and let it go Why can't we forget and let it go And your deeds all alone cannot resist what they force on us bit by bit As the wolf may kill the runt, but without the whole pack there's no hunt we never Forgive and let it go Why can't we forget and let it go We never forgive and let it go We always swear revenge and murder everyone We can't go back and change it There's no new land to run to now No place to overtake Did no one else bother to read The Prince? They practice is so perfectly They love it like their Bible Twisting God to fool all mankind Twisting all mankind to fool themselves All these pretty words designed To make you resign all your fucking power And it will crumble Oh, how it will fall And every one of us Will be responsible Our fathers promised us A land free from tyranny Centuries of abuse Oh, how broken humans be |
