lyrics
The world has led me to believe,
That part of living is to grieve.
But give me liberty or give me death,
For only freedom teaches best,
Only freedom teaches best.
Now if we are quiet and do as they say,
Be mindless, mutate, succumb to their way.
Soon we will find out the vicious truth,
They really have put our necks in the noose,
They really have put our necks in the noose.
As I walk out into the blazing sun,
I have but just one thing but it's not yet begun,
Close your eyes now and look into the night,
All your dreams await, you've got to make them right.
To make our mark on the world today,
Is a goal they have or so they say,
The problem is that it seems to be,
The world is ruled by TV,
The world is ruled by TV.
The media controls what it is we think,
Dragging humanity into the drink,
Causing pestilience, propagating war,
It makes one wonder what thinking's for,
It makes one wonder what thinking's for.
As I walk out into the blazing sun,
I have but just one thing but it's not yet begun,
Close your eyes now and look into the night,
All your dreams await, you've got to make them right.
