we've let ourselves down

why do we say that we are free

we have racism, wars, border police

our lust has blinded us from peace

what kind of people are we

how can we say our future's bold

we have violence, drugs, a heart ice cold

we rewrite history books meant for new fools

so much for truth

so I stand 

to tear these walls down

to end this hatred now

are we all cowards

why must we cage, torture and preach

raping our youth with christian beliefs

washing our brains to know what we think

are we not trustworthy

so I stand

to speak my voice

to sound my noise

we all have a choice
