15. the lyrics - though it's much more powerful via flash |
|
The Words << v.1 Didn't know I was unamerican For choosing to give a damn Or unpatriotic For daring to take a stand For what I believe in Looks like freedom to me - Expressions of liberty Wanting our America to be A responsible hegemony
v.2 Didn't know I was a communist For wanting to share the wealth It doesn't take an economist To measure the cost of health And what I believe in Looks like heaven to me - One human family Where everybody's got enough to eat And something warm to cover their feet
v.3 Didn't know I'd be labeled a terrorist For daring to speak my mind It's becoming more precarious For failing to toe the line And what I believe in Sounds like freedom to me - Like the Sons of Liberty In 1773 Dumping 45 tonnes of tea
v.4 Didn't know I was in the minority Of people who love the Earth I hope it becomes a priority Before it gets any worse And what I believe In Looks like heaven to me - Where angels take the shape of the trees Giving us clean air to breathe From the rivers to the mountains and seas...
v.5 DIdn't know I hated my country For acknowledging the Truth This war is despicable profiteering At the expense of our youth And what I believe In Looks like heaven to me - All of humanity Living as community In relative harmony
I know it's just a song But if the whole world sang along How much longer would it be this way?
