lyrics

Four years, hard working slaves, try to believe, it's ok
who are we to believe these bullshit-lies?
It's time to control our own lives
No more dying people () every night I,

Fall asleep to dream
Get up every morning so I can scream
And I can't promise you it's over now
And I can't promise you we're free

You may not see it on the tv, as much as you read,
every day a new beginning and another life ends

And I can't promise you it's over now
And I can't promise you we're free
And I can't, wait
For the day that we all unite and stop the fighting,
Wait before you take that knife and turn it inside of me,

We all can live if we just try,
We all can be one if you open your mind,
Can you open your eyes?
Can you open your eyes?
Can you open your life?

And I can't promise you it's over now
And I can't promise you we're free
And I can't promise you it's over now
And I can't promise you we're free
We are free
