earned makes it back into their Enhancing their wealth, enhancing their claim, their domination Maintaining their power, maintaining their reign, they're from exploitaton humanity for the good of

them to succeed we constructed any bridges or just built another wall Have our beliefs and our ideals accomplished at all Have we ever caused our to change a single thing Have we ever been a threat or just on a string Have we wasted all of our time pictures for the blind While we've isolation have we changed a single mind Have we had enought sense to from our mistakes Are we prepared for personal sacrifices no what it takes Are we willing to work together differences aside Or is compormise too much to damaging our pride Do we have hope to still find trust in someone else Do we have the compassion to fight the problems don't directly affect ourselves Have we stood a chance or have our efforts been naive Have we bought into their lies of what tell us to believe It still is your what path to choose Don't let the change yo make be in your views Like if you can't fight everything why to try You can learn from the hypocracies you to deny Is it all a or do you actually mean it Do your
