You kill us, the nameless and the faceless, in the name of freedom
In the name of justice and equality
In the name of democracy and liberty
O Liberty, how many crimes have been committed in your name?
You are the great savior, the grand redeemer
You claim to occupy the moral high ground
With your tanks and fighter planes
And your guns and your ships
And your fleets and your armies
Only if you would realize that all it takes
Is a smile, just one smile
You sit in air-conditioned rooms and claim
That your heart bleeds for those who live under the blistering sun
You convene in lavish hotels and claim
That you suffer the pain of the homeless
You dine in five star hotels and claim
That you endure the hunger of the destitute
O this hypocrisy, this blatant duplicity
For how long will you deceive yourself?
The people shall rise one day
The truth shall emerge from this falsehood
This darkness shall give way to light
By God, the end is near
Fear that day, fear that day
