1v.
So much injustice in this world operable under the sun / exploitation of the insolvent / misuses of guns / development of nuclear warheads a warning to some / large percentage hope's diminished systematically numbed / enchanted or stunned confused bout which direction to run due to vices of evil strategists thrown at us at once / classified like some cattle an expendable bunch / words like empowerment and freedom not intended for us....

Vamp
Cause most who we've elected meant to govern us / abuse positions like it's a prerequisite / to make elitist, heartless, egotistical / decisions that ultimately effect us all...

Chorus
Through cruel eyes an illusion magnified to a mind when it's shallow / will soon realize that within due time all lies unravel / ties that bind any thoughts assigned to the dark like shadows / til it's roots are aligned where TRUTH resides otherwise it's hollow...

Break

2v.
Political insanity's firmly gripped on humanity casually catching casualties gradually managing to move our condition beyond damaging / experiencing tragedy after tragedy for centuries throughout history / masterfully crafting the quality of LIFE'S vanishing / a travesty / one I'm compelled to speak about candidly how can there be / less accountability for faculty as if this mess they have made will repair itself magically / apparently authority has been charmed by vanity to hold in very high esteem any form of fallacy / disguising itself as anti anything traveling / against a current of what they've made a deranged fantasy...

Chorus x 2
Through cruel eyes an illusion magnified to a mind when it's shallow / will soon realize that within due time all lies unravel / ties that bind any thoughts assigned to the dark like shadows / til it's roots are aligned where TRUTH resides otherwise it's hollow...

Georgia Break
What have we become? / What are we running from? / It’s hard to see this world grow so cold / It’s time we rise / Wisely excersise / your natural right to shine / Open up your mind / Alas, there’s still time to make things right / Make it right
