Broken Bones - It's Like lyrics

It's like your paradise, but it's not what it seems Ideals are not reality, they're nothing more than dreams It's like your idols that offer you freedom They're making their statements, so you think that they mean them? They started all this hate This hate, violence and war They started all this hate But who are you fighting for? It's like your politicians who offer you the earth But until they get in power you can't see what they're worth It's like political violence that still goes on today You'd think the government by now would have found a way It's like the wealthy who look down on you They're being taxed too much? That can't be true It's like violent demonstrations like in Red Lion Square The extent of the aggression the police didn't care ... are you fighting for But who are you fighting for?
