Well to tell you the truth
I've got nothing much left to say
You talk about freedom
I just wanna get away
You keep on talking
My mind keeps drifting away
I wish I could remember the things
You used to say

Well I've heard this story  
'bout a thousand times before
It starts off with freedom
And it ends in a ****** war
No-one really knows who's keeping the score
But no ones really winning
Anymore

Well I heard you in a room
An' you sounded so fresh and new
I heard you in the stadium
You sounded so strong and true
I followed you down to the riverside
I drank that wine, I saw that light
But the water was cold
Like the long dark night
