Politics?

Here we are the nation of the free
Life, happiness and liberty
But where has that gone?
Now we crave power
All we want
At every waking hour

We attack villages
We slaughter their women
We kill posterity
But why?

Communication
Contradiction
Free our nation
Our frustration
Our rebellion
Ending nations

If you’re not like us, fear us
Only agree if you’re near us
We have no ally we have no friend
We will keep fighting until the end
Those friends are once so lost
Only because we listened to the boss

How many must die
How many will try
Mothers crying
Children dying
Leaders lying
Politics buying
Their own heaven

Communication
Contradiction
Free our nation
Our frustration
Our rebellion
Ending nations

You ship us off to our doom
How many more will die to BOOM?
What have you done can’t you see?
You kill us all, you live in a mansion
Just to satisfy expansion
Soon you’ll be all that’s here
No more troops to fuel your career
The world is yours, but there’s nothing left
The people, your endless theft

Families die
Sons, daughters all go by
Daddy’s body in sand
Blood spilled on his daughter’s hand
What happens now?
The people demand
You kill us all, your ratings go down
Just push harder, millions must die
but you look good in your father’s eyes

Communication
Contradiction
Free our nation
Our frustration
Our rebellion
Ending nations

Burn their houses, destroy their stores
They don’t feel, they love these wars
They’re only puppets they can die
Destroy the cities, bombs from the sky
Fire the nights in the air
The smell of napalm is all that’s there

Fill up the ranks
With fresh lives
Fuel your tanks
If the need arrives
Raid our banks
Destroy our wives
Prepare for war!

Communication
Contradiction
Free our nation
Our frustration
Our rebellion
Ending nations
We did nothing you send us away
Not knowing if we’ll see another day
You can’t see this you see your way
This country is falling in your wake
Once we’re all dead what more will you take?

You Killed my brother
Maybe my mother
Now it’s on you
What have you uncovered?
We’re only one nation
That you must smother

Communication
Contradiction
Free our nation
Our frustration
Our rebellion
Ending nations

The desert is only in your mind
You already caught what you were trying to find
Our bodies filling the borderlines
Why can’t you stop it, what is it?
You only care what you leave behind

Tracks to be hidden
And stories forbidden
The people don’t matter
Your career is shattered
You can’t hide what you’ve scattered
Your reign is over
It lays in tatters

Communication
Contradiction
Free our nation
Our frustration
Our rebellion
Ending nations

Your lies are out and everyone knows
You’re fading out as the wind blows
The people hate you, what you’ve done
Your career was great, you really won
We hated you soon, it had only begun
Now we sit here refilling your sins
The nation lies crumbled nobody wins

The people are ash
The cities are trash
All mean naught
People are burned
Houses destroyed
Are you any different,
Than the “evil” you’ve fought?
