Blind Emotions

For the good of man,
  We hold our heads up high

  For the good of man, we swallow
  Our dreams and pride,  and show 
  no hostile feeling's towards others
  with great expectations.

  For the good of man, we prepare ourself
  for war when there is no other alternative
  solution, but to fight.

  For the good of man we would rather stand
  together, than fall as a nation, to the enemy
  who is anticipating our every command.

  Please for the good of man let's take our blind folds
  off and take back the United States, a country that has
  been divided for so long and trapped mentally by hate
  and race.
