Decline and fall We once stood so tall The future was at our command But the years of neglect erased the years of respect Now we bury our heads in the sand
We got so used to taking life so easy Made us soft - it made us weak Everything's been handed to us Freedom we take for granted See right through the enemy promises they make Simple topics - Ideas for simple minds mass consumption Soothing words meant to sedate you1
Out of sight - Out of mind Tunnel vision - future blind Gamble with the fate of the next generation For the short term bottom line
Once we had such pride and believed in the leaders we could trust To protect and to serve Seem like so many empty words Who can we turn to now Power is held in the hands of the few A status they seek to maintain O say can you see the burning oil fields Who profits this time? Answer me!
One day - we the people might be in control One dream - to create a world far beyond war One hope - more money spent to educate than to kill Last chance - we hold it in our hand One voice - who will be the one - is it you?
