From the factories to the fields to wherever wields its knife To the hearts of beating For those who have a burning deep down that scares them to death but keeps them alive In the middle of the battlezone
No how many battles are won, the war will continue to rage on With their unlimited weapons of media, and money And just when you feel all hope is lost, you hear of someone with life they've paid the cost You return to the fight a more scarred, a little more determined
Everyone around you wallows in the abyss of mediocrity But all consumed with the altruistic vision that every person should be free

We know we're strong enough to survive, but we'll be if our kids have to live their lives With the same kind of hopelessness and utter We can't protect them every evil they see but we can fight for them to live free a little self worth and liberty screaming

They're gonna think we're crazy and down on us We may be poor, but our souls are And I'd rather be damned than how they told me to
