[Refrain 1]

Can we go on?

Can we be strong?

[Verse 1]

We've got a system you're going to use it

We call it freedom and you are free to choose it

If you're not against it you've got to be for it

Neutral is dangerous and you cannot ignore it

[Refrain 2]

Can we go on forcing our hand?

Can we be strong 'til others understand?

Can we go on to save our wounded land?

Can we be wrong?

[Verse 2]

We've got the money we're going to spend it

Peace is our mission we'll murder to defend it

Sooner or later you'll get the picture

We're the creator and you were just created

[Verse 3]

Devastation is where we're heading if we follow this illusion

Escalation of all the hurting that is borne of our confusion

Unrelenting as we persist in putting everyone beneath us

Never ending until we understand our honesty deceives us

[Pre-Chorus]

There is still one truth on which we can depend

We've started something we can never end

[Chorus]

We know although we try to justify the means

The truth behind the end remains unseen

And while we all assume we all agree

We're giving up the freedom to be free

[Verse 4]

Disillusion is always possible but we've got propaganda

Mass confusion is always better than the threat of understanding

We'll deceive you we've got so many ways to make you stand behind us

If we need to we'll use them on ourselves to constantly remind us

[Pre-Chorus]

There is just one lie that we can still defend

We've started something we can never end

[Chorus]

We know although we try to justify the means

The truth behind the end remains unseen

And while we all assume we all agree

We're giving up the freedom to be free

[Guitar Solo]

[Keyboard Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

There is still one truth on which we can depend

We've started something we can never end

[Chorus]

We know although we try to justify the means

The truth behind the end remains unseen

And while we all assume we all agree

We're giving up the freedom to be free

The freedom to be free

The freedom to be free

[Refrain 2]

Can we go on forcing our hand?

Can we be strong 'til others understand?

Can we go on to save our wounded land?

Can we be wrong?
