This is a truth adjust
Has to be told, it must
We spread amongst us so the world can hear it
We got to get it right
This time, if we just fight
Innocence starts tonight
If we can heal it

[Bridge]
We look to our leaders with the lies they try to feed us
Like a knife they try to bleed us
And they cut us real slow

[Chorus]
So go,
Just go
Just go
You hide behind your mask of desperation
Go
Just go
Just go
I won't surrender to the last temptation

You have no dignity
I have no sympathy
You are my enemy
But I can't see you

No matter where you run
Thy kingdom will be done
A rocket to the sun
Is where I see you

Endless senses get ecstatic
Overflow is automatic
Feel the need to feel erratic
Don't deny it let it flow

So go,
Just go
Just go
You hide behind your mask of desperation
Go
Just go
Just go
I won't surrender to this fake salvation

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
