Upon just whose liberty exactly does it stand Looks like I'm gonna have to go relearn my history Yet again You're my smallpox blanket in the summertime You're a gateway drug on a Friday night But I know your love is true Because you told me so Because you told me so Is this what my grandpa was fighting for Is this what my children will be known for For a Smallpox blanket in the summertime You're a gateway drug on a Friday night But I know your love is true Because you told me so You never told me.. Edison killed elephants and dogs in the street You only told me about a kite and some lightning Not the slaves or the genocide You said we were GOOD guys This land's not our land if we stole it With a smallpox blanket in the summertime A gateway drug on a Friday night But I know your love is true Because you told me so Because you told me so Because you told me so We were Cowboys and Indians, Soldiers On a mission to play, One of our favorite games With our fake knives, Plastic bayonets, Gun fights We pretended to kill Like they did in the film When one day, While studying John Wayne, As the smoke finally cleared The camera drew near To a face on the side I'd been cheering against He was gasping for air with a hole in his chest Then everything changed and I could not forget And that was the first time I understood death That was the moment when I realized I didn't know where they'd go when they died I pictured their parents,Their children, their wives And suddenly lost all desire to fight Envoys, Late night drone attacks Young boys, Wired up to explode Across an ocean I'm told Anyway we got to saved now Go to church, Live by faith now Sing of mercy and grace And how heaven forgave But it's a little confusing, Which cheek should I turn When you said love your enemy, What the prophets here heard Is you should try to love most of them most of the time Unless they should threaten your way of life I admire the bravery on either side For there is no greater love than when one gives his life For another But is this what it means to be free Is this what it means to be free The only thing more dangerous than the actions of evil men is the indifference of GOOD men I hope that by the time you are old enough to drive That I have some better news for you, see a brighter side I hope that when you graduate, we still have gasoline Even if our cars recharge, I hope we don't use up one more thing But I promise you I'll always tell the truth No matter what I owe that much to you I hope we learn to get along, and find a better way to fight Hope we grow another atmosphere, clone what's endangered back to life I hope that when you want to see the world, there is still a world to see And I promise you I'll always tell the truth No matter what I owe that much to you I hope that by the time I die, I've passed on all I can I know we'll make some memories, son I hope you understand I promise you I'll always tell the truth, Even if it breaks my heart ; I owe that much to you Only the truth can set you free Only the truth can set you free Only the truth can set you free So be true Only the truth can set you free Only the truth can set you free Only the truth can set you free So be true Only the truth can set you free Only the truth can set you free Only the truth can set you free So be true Only the truth will set you free Only the truth will set you free Only the truth will set you free My Love
