Battle Cry

Leaders tell us we are in danger, Using our money to kill innocent strangers, Corruption and greed have taken hold, History repeats, this story has been foretold, A desperate government wanting to survive, Taking desperate measures trying to stay alive, Tyrants blinded by their own ugly rage, Learning the hard way, we will never be their slave, The masses will gather with a message so clear, Shock will hit them when they see no fear, Bring on your tanks, guns, missiles, and planes, We still will refuse to play cowardly war games, Anger surfaces, their true colors will show, Their fate will be sealed, that is no way to grow, Tyrants can never win this battle, Joy a wolf, they are the cattle, Love will always conquer all, Together we stand while we watch you fall, In this way WE are free.
