lyrics

I forgot to say my prayers last night
'cause I don't know who to thank
For the suffering that never ends
A world abandoned by God, now controlled by the bank

In all of history, we've cried: "We want to be free!"
So we fought and we died so courageously

Was it a waste of life? I can't see what we've achieved
And all I can feel are the chains around me

And they clink and they rattle
And they clank and they shake
And they tighten and restrain
Starting to suffocate
Are we programmed to struggle?
To just lay down and die?
You tell me everything's fine
But freedom is a lie

So if I die of starvation will I get a standing ovation?
If we all die in wars will we get some applause?

And if I destroy the Earth with poverty and disease
Will I get all the glory like our monarchs and presidencies?

This is not what we fought for
This is not what we died for
This is not what I fight for
And this is not how I'll die

And they clink and they rattle
And they clank and they shake
And they tighten and restrain
Starting to suffocate
But you're programmed to struggle
To just lay down and die
You tell me everything's fine
But your freedom is a lie
