Lyrics

i grew up being proud of my country
and i trusted in the good we could do..      
but right now i see such madness
do you take me for such a fool?
you tell me that we are a free land
you tell me for freedom, this price       
i fear our freedom is leaving  
and all i keep hearing are lies 
i wouldn't lie to you      don't lie to me!

have we forgotton from our history and  past wars? 
have we  just looked the other  way?
have they scared us so bad we just stopped thinking?
is our freedom the price that we'll pay?
i marched for peace in the 60's
now  see what good it's  done
somewhere we lost our honor...
all lies, no pride everyone?
i  wouldn't  lie to  you      don't lie to me!  
   
i'm an ordinary person
and i lead a fairly simple life    
but i can see how they keep us in ignorance and fear
don't let them take us for a  ride
their conduct screams  hypocracy
they spin, lie and lose their credibility
the voters simply shrug and look the other way
i can't understand all this apathy today
i wouldn't lie to you...  don't lie to me!

you tell us it's evil we're  fighting
excuse me, i'd say it's power, money and greed
put away your guns and ride into the sunset
a  cow boy is  not what we need 
just because they  wear a black hat
does not mean that yours is  white
All your deceit will not won't hide it
i think you just want a fight

you tell me that we are a free land
you tell me for freedom, this price
i fear our freedom is leaving  
and all i keep hearing are lies
i wouldn't lie to you... don't lie to me!
