They drained my very soul... dry
No thought for me remains there
Who praised their efforts to be free?
Words of strength and care
That would have blocked their way
I braved their cause to guide
I ravaged at my finance just for those
were steeped in peace, tranquility
Those who said a new world,
Those whose promises stretched
in hope and grace for me"
Just in time, at times, I guess
Because of you I need to rest, oh yes
Because it's you that sets the test
"We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers that he had
Not of the best of men, but ours
We let him use his powers
We let him fill our needs
And the road is coming to its end
Now the damned have no time
No purse of token fortune
We broke the ruptured structure
Our weapons were the tongues
We planted seeds of rebirth
And stabbed the backs of fathers
Infiltrated business cesspools
Hating through our sleeves
Yeah, and we slit the Catholic throat
Stoned the poor on slogans such as
or He'll Get You In the End'
And we know the flag of love
And we can force you to be free
And we can force you to believe"
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
in which the lovers were slain
For they knew not the words
of the Free States' refrain
"I believe in the power of good
I believe in the state of love
I will fight for the right to be right
I will kill for the good of the fight
for the right to be right"
And I open my eyes to look around
As a love machine lumbers
Just the shrieks from the old rich
