Don’t you feed your propaganda into me Your immaculate lies and your bigotry As the fascists clear the way for their victory You stand by and watch them idly Don’t your curtail me with your regulations Your sorry attempts at forced manipulations Freedoms are not granted but inherent to man Yet they’re slipping through our fingers like grains of sand And someone right said “fight or shut up” And he paid for his vision with his life And someone stood up for his fellow man And he paid for his vision with his life If it had meant a damn today I’d be singing our praises If we remembered a thing that they said we’d be coming up roses Dissent is more patriotic than obedience Will there be anyone left to leap to your defence? Your safety will collapse and swallow you As they pull the earth out from under you And someone right said “fight or shut up” And he paid for his vision with his life And someone stood up for his fellow man And he paid for his vision with his life If we had learned from the past I’d be singing our praises If we honored the principles for which they stand we’d be back in good graces The endless parade of faces they say they give you choices but it’s all in the name of perpetuating their agenda and it becomes apparent as out comes the riot gear again every time you raise an objection, It’s out with the riot gear again. Every time we peaceably assemble…out with the tear gas canisters again and again again… © 2005 eveghost
