lyrics
Where’ve you been? Where’ve you gone? What the fuck was going through your head when you signed your life away to the powers that be? Humankind is not a resource. Men of honor know the truth. Wars do not make one great. If I could see you now, I’d have so much I’d want to ask. What happened to your plans? Who are you fighting for? You’re not a revolutionary; an oppressor in disguise. The future never looked this bright. If you could see the sorrow swept across your mother’s face, you would understand her plight. You would understand her pain. She has a son to lose, and nothing else to gain. Children sent into the jaws of death. Sons and daughters sacrificed. In the name of blood and greed, getting conned out of basic human rights. In the name of blood and greed, getting fucked out of human rights. In the name of blood and greed. In the name of greed.
