you yearn for freedom
then you crush it
you ask for time
yet you rush it
you preach equality
then ban all others
you look for knowledge
yet hide under covers
you want perfection
then you complain
you ask for sanity
yet behave insane
you say this is home
then tear down the flag
your heritage unknown
yet willing to brag
you ask for no lies
then don't believe truth
you ask for more money
our debt's through the roof
you look for happiness
and you long for peace
you hold onto a grudge
but you need release
you say you're a dreamer
but you don't believe
that we can do anything
that we can perceive
