soldiers
marchin off to war
what are they fighting for?
all the bickering at home?
freedom
reduced to a word
to buy and sell you
for political games
from the fields of Afghanistan
to the halls of the Vatican
they are tryin to control women
tentacles of millenium
abuse of privilege
the communal mirage
they embrace an ancient faith
they afraid of the rational truth
tell me
it’s over
lalala, lalalaland
tell me it’s over
culture
war across the land
but I don’t understand
what’s fair and true seems clear
timing
the writing’s on the wall
the old guard will fall
incendiary scrawl
disguised as gentlemen
immune to poison
we formed a battalion
of the lost generation
we fought 'till all was lost
they tallied up the cost
fortress of indifference
empire on a house of cards
tell me
it’s over
lalala, lalalaland
living in lalalaland
we don’t understand
we don’t understand
living in lalalaland
of self deception
self deception
living in lalalaland
shake off your chains
shake off your chains
tell me
it’s over
lalala, lalalaland
