Lyrics

[Intro: JFK] Ladies and Gentlemen The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. No secret is revealed [Verse 1] We always catch on late After we hurt the ones who care And then we cry for ages Yet we never learn to share The teachings of our fallen heroes To those who are different We just repeat this deadly cycle We've become abhorrent [Verse 2] This is it, this is how we sealed our fate By our hate, by our choice to discriminate Every messenger we shall incriminate We bleed the freak And then suffer from our mistake [Chorus] What we need is some faith and discipline We need to wash all this Innocent blood off our skin Assess the ignorance He secrets, the lies, and the sin Reflect on errors of the past And let a future begin We are monkeys with ammo Nothing advanced more We are a needy fucking species We are dogs of war [Chorus] [Verse 3] Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate Martin Luther King and the L.A. riots This is the sad history of the world The people that we hate The we kill, never learn Hitler, Bush, Napoleon Adam and Eve and the original sin Lessons lost in time; hatred reoccurs The sound of scraping metal The earth can barely turn Hiroshima and Vietnam Albert Einstein's atomic bomb The suffering still continues and always will Until the end of time Why do we expel the ones that could save us? Maybe it's time that we shut up and listen [Excerpts from Martin Luther King's "I've been to the Mountaintop speech] We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now. I just want to do God's will. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man! Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!! But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land! [Chorus] Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy A fatal shot to democracy This is the sad history of the world The people that we hate The we kill, never learn Area 51, cancer and AIDS The Holocaust and the Crusades Lessons lost in time; hatred reoccurs The sound of scraping metal The earth can barely turn The truth is buried We kill what we don't understand Maybe it's time to expand our feeble minds
