I'm locked inside A land called foolish pride Where the man is always right He hates to talk but loves to fight Is that all right? On real cold days He loans us lots of hate But he says that we must pay To take it all away Is that ok? But I'm asking you will you stay with me In this land where we are free And I know its rough and you've had enough But one day we'll be happy Ponte: When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes Hearts of hatred rule the land While others left outside Killing, bleeding citizen while music slowly dies And I get frightened I, see I get frightened I Oh how, oh how I need you baby You keep me from going crazy I really need you baby, need you to stay Oh how, oh how I love you baby These people are so crazy I really need you baby, need you to stay She always fights For her man but not her rights Even though it's 3005 When will we end this genocide? And that's not right Her children cry No food to eat and afraid as flies The color black means its time to die And nobody questions why Cause they're too scared to stop them now But I'm asking you will you stay with me In this land where we are free And I know its rough and you've had enough But one day we'll be happy When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles The writers and the artists, all are paid to tell us lies To keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside I can make a change I can start a fire Lord, make me love again Father, fill me with desire I can make a change I can start a fire Lord, make me love again Father, fill me with desire ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
