One world, one federation, a million tribes When will you find the courage to join the good fight? Some of you think we're cruel and enraged Some of you think that we're blind to the wars you wage Ballots and bullets cannot debate what we know Ballots and bullets cannot deface the truth we hold And now that you are so prudent and aged We see you never really cared for freedom and the rage Must we lose all courage to gain some peace?
