Been locked up for a couple of days
and the riot keeps on getting bigger and bigger.
"We try our best to get what we want
we try our best to destroy what is not
when people die, people usually mourn
cry the dead and burry them
cry the past and dread the future
but that's only a dream
because when people die, we try to kill some more
we create gangs and militias to threaten others
we try our best to protect those we love by killing those we ignore
we carry guns, we threaten with them
we hold them to your head until you admit
should you admit, always lie because that's what we are used to hear
now, don't worry, we won't kill you
we don't want to be assassins, we will just lock you up, insult you, torture you, rape you and send you home.
oh, wait, we just destroyed your house and killed your family
it's okay we'll protect you, and have you thank us for the bread you eat and the air you breathe
we hold our guns and our weapons
we hold our heads down because we have nothing to be proud of
we sigh when we can't answer
and we smile, we torture.
but don't worry, we aim for peace
and love."
Well, no, i will not remain silent this time.
why is it that you vote for the people who hurt you
why do you suck up to them
why is it, that when someone speaks about your country you raise its flag,
but when you speak to your country your raise someone else's
is it hard to fight for your beliefs and not for what they make you believe
have you ever thought of what life would be if you tried to speak up for yourself and not just listen
i have, but i am alone
i can think, and i speak
and i can dream
but i don't need to fight
i am different but i belong
you are different
try to make all people identical
you are different
but you've never opened your eyes to see what could bring you closer to the other
