The Monotony Of Freedom

from Enigma by doctor!doctor!

/

lyrics

Wind up your soldiers and send them to sea

the skies and the oceans their coffins will be

fighting for freedom is our claim to fame
but we are a nation of cowards to plame


a plague to the people this war has become
your sons and your daughters put under the gun
soldiers like insects are sent to the flame
programmed to fire all part of his game
patrolling the world for problems to solve
stirring up troubles that we can't resolve
the people are dying as they throw their stones
we come a'running to bury their bones

open your eyes my friend and see
a country corroded by tyranny
open your eyes and you will see
we're fighting for freedom that
will never be
we're fighting for freedoms that we'll never see
open your eyes
open your eyes
open your eyes

propped up before a firing squad
we pledge our allegiance to petroleum gods
strike up the band for this facade
capitalize on a nation of god
fireworks and a parade
what happens next in this charade
a people dependent on foreign gold
our children will fight as their youth grow old
as their youth grow cold

with a fast food constitution rotting deep withing our chests
we the people find that we're no better than the rest
with countries all around us bringing death right to our door
we the people find that we're no better than before

we the people find we're no better then the rest
no better then the rest
no better then the rest
no better then before
