Are we all detainees? Without rights trapped inside motives Presented by the black and the white And bleeding blue ray red but only to amplify Heroes made while innocents die Is a free press this easy to buy? Starving for truth Profit for lie Witness to business War market toxins Bullets and ballot Stocks and pine boxes They can't keep us down And the puppet speaks and the prophet seeks His gunpowder dry the radiated land And the puppet speaks and the prophet seeks A rain shower now you've overplayed your hand Every orphan every soldier Every family wounded by this sleight of hand Every soldier every family Every orphan are bodies in the blink of an eye I will stand against this lie When the puppet speaks and the prophet seeks His gunpowder dry the radiated land And the puppet speaks and the prophet seeks a rain shower Now you've overplayed your hand There is no peace there is no sleep Until the people rise and take back the land
