A dangerous heritage they've left behind for us So we meet our d**h before time For our children, they can take the rest But there's not much that we've saved in the past Take these conditions, the memories fade Choose a position between love and hate Alternate lifestyle - A wish to escape Travel this planet before it's too late Where do we go? Who want's to know? Dangerous heritage - Failures strike back On your d**hbed feel the grip 'round your neck Dangerous heritage - You can't disclaim Curse it whenever it hammers your brain A dangerous heritage they've left behind For us so we'll find no peace for all time Talking and talking but then speaks the gun Until the most senseless battle is won When people's nation counts more than their lives Then something's wrong in their heads for all time We transfer our views from father to son Ain't it our choice to wipe out what is wrong? Where are we now? Who want's to know? Dangerous heritage - Failures strike back On your d**hbed feel the grip 'round your neck Dangerous heritage - You can't disclaim Curse it whenever it hammers your brain
