No Wishes, No Prayers

Lyrics

You've got control of your own destiny No wishes, no prayers It's got to be your own responsibility No invisible guardians No wishes, no prayers You've got to dig your head out from the bloody sand One by one in the street Realizing they don't want defeat They shout defiance at the ritual sheep A million wars in the name of some god No wishes, no prayers Superstition wastes the dawning of a better day Missionaries teaching god to the savage mind No wishes, no prayers So now they know to hate satan and live a life of fear One by one in the street Realizing they don't want defeat They shout defiance at the ritual sheep Learning to see just what's right For some sanity they now must fight Once you've seen what could be, there's no turning back There's no turning back Once you've seen what could be, there's no turning back A new idea finally sees its time No wishes, no prayers Still attached to the blackmailers of yesterday Now the question is a race against time No wishes, no prayers To fight the ignorance that's in our way One by one in the street Realizing they don't want defeat They shout defiance at the ritual sheep Learning to see just what's right For some sanity they now must fight Once you've seen what could be, there's no turning back No wishes, no prayers No wishes, no prayers No wishes, no prayers No wishes, no prayers
