Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Once united Now divided Truth derided Lies confided Given the illusion of choice Then they drown out your voice Justified by a so called necessary means The ends we have met have failed us So miserably We broke our backs to build them an empire The least they could do is reward us with liberty There's no denying our courage But when was the last time that you felt free Only the wealthiest prosper None left for you and me What has it done for us lately Righteous democracy Pushing the rift open wider We've lost the art of debate Condemning those with different ideals Can't you see the way that you're spreading hate Choke on your words as you gaze upon This better world you were so desperate to create We broke our backs to build them an empire The least they could do is reward us with liberty There's no denying our courage But when was the last time that you felt free Only the wealthiest prosper None left for you and me What has it done for us lately Righteous democracy The only way up is down The only way in is out And every right we concede just prolongs the bleeding We're guessing pretending we know In decline we'll never grow When will everyone see that the future is fleeting We broke our backs to build them an empire The least they could do is reward us with liberty There's no denying our courage But when was the last time that you felt free Only the wealthiest prosper None left for you and me What has it done for us lately Righteous democracy
