I've sat in silence for far too long At all the pain passing by I've always said that it wasn't my fight But was standing by ever right? I wanna help those in need I wanna help them be seen Victim of greed, Greenland is gone Singing white snow's swan song For too long and with too many Wars are fought by the poor for the plenty We'll march under your towers, day after day To make sure you hear us say Are you justified In taking all that they own? How many tears must be shed for you to Just help them along? I'm tired and worn out of fighting And as I look it seems nothing is changing Have I wasted all my life? What could I've done? Who's to blame for their hunger and dying? Because it sure isn't their lack of trying Why must things remain the same When all it's caused is so much pain? Their money hungry minds murder and mug millions Making millions While mothers try to make their children a meal I haven't wasted my time Only biding it Finding out what you truly mean When you want freedom of trade, not pay, not people This land is your land And your streets are mine So I will take the liberty Of writing our minds upon your walls Are you justified In taking all that they own? How many tears must be shed for you to Just leave them alone? The scenes are unreal Poor crushed by company zeal To keep their high brow holders happy Those in power Double down and cower At the prospects of equality They have ivory towers By owning broken showers That they never waste their money to fix They said, "Rent's due the first Remember it can be worse If you were working overseas for me" "So keep your head held high And keep your eyes on my prize Because I know your life has its price" "Rights don't apply If your labor's supplied Out of big brother's reach" And in the end when you win Now what will you gain? Just being able to say That you tricked them to chains? But if breaking them free From your corporate regime Means breaking all the cogs Of your murder machines Then I'll rip and I'll tear And I'll cut down the wire Of the artificial fences That your profits require I'll be martyr from the slaughter Of commercial crusade To put the public at peace By keeping truth away Parades and parties Don't seem to catch your eye You're even more apathetic When your peasants die So I'll put my message in your pipe So you can just smoke it And then we'll scream Are you justified? In taking all that they own? How much blood must be shed for you to Just leave them alone? The great white kings of the concrete jungle Build their castles far away from trouble And you know they sold their souls To the star spangled sinners above We'll find the source of your wealth And give you feeling of what they've been dealt Are you justified? In taking all that they own (are)? How much blood must be shed for you to Just leave them alone? You started a war when you needed more And found a people able to be torn Your business is finished and it's time to go These plans of care are more than show And it won't take too long for them to Get their guns We are justified In burning all that you own And if you take what's left of us Then we'll have nothing left to lose And as I rise from this wasted ground And I see burned children all around Children of God and children of Greed Innocent souls lost from some poisoned seed I can't tell if it's tears or if it's blood On this battlefield of bodies and mud For those not yet gone with shock in their eyes I hope by cavalry (Calvary) they're not still alive And as I draw my final breath As we lay here equal in death I hope my message found anyone, anywhere But I know in truth our screams were less than a prayer I never meant to hurt anyone I'm so sorry for what I've done
