- Verse 1 -
High up on your mountain
The chemicals you speak
A sinister like whisper
You have spread across the sea

Unfortunately hate has fueled endless fire
Burn till all are willing

Now you’ve opened up our minds
To accept this killing
Instigated by pure lies
So who is really winning?

Say goodbye it’s all in vain
One last smile I’ll send away
Many lives will go unnamed
But they will bleed

- Verse 2 -
The problem lies within us
A sickness to believe
In what we hear
And what we see
Must be reality

This propaganda system
Manipulates the weak
Lead us and we will follow

So now I’ll hold my hands up high and I’ll pray a little
For many soldiers I will cry
Who won’t see tomorrow

What about the people

- Verse 3 -
Someday we’ll find out
That we can change the world
Someday we’ll write out
What we really know
But today it’s our choice
That we have compromise
A Nation lost in loyalty
Now we must pay for

- Chorus -
What about the people
Who live this War
We let our children suffer
Do we know what for
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
The tainted freedom

- Verse 4 -
So we’ve blamed this war
On terrorists
And to be informed
We created a system
But to be honest
With this new kind of structure
Don’t think you’re safer

- Chorus -
What about the people
Who live this War
We let our children suffer
Do we know what for
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
The tainted freedom

- Verse 5 -
I’m high up on the mountain
Feeling comfort here
There’s no one to confuse me
Or to influence my ear
Can’t bleed a resolution
But I am strong in mind
Teach a peaceful ending

When it seems there’s no more choice
Realize you have your voice
So close you’re eyes and feel within
Then you will see
