Freedom
New Model Army It's time to rebuilding Dresden, the great machines come a The desecration of the ruins and everything that might have been You showed me the square in the melting snow As the light was beginning to fade But your melancholy eyes betrayed you Just as you have been betrayed I get culture shock coming back to the west I see the stores all glittering like idiot's gold beckoning the innocents in But it's not far back to the caves and the trees The constructed face of a civilised world, complete cosmetic control And soon it will be time to go Freedom? I don't hear any more songs of freedom. 121st street and rising the western dream aspires The crack kings like to drive German cars and there's children up for sale The streets are left scorched and barren There's twenty Get gang murder hype from Tinseltown to sell a movie about Malcolm X But freedom? I don't hear any more songs of freedom. So pinned down and what do we get? A longer piece of rope for our cute little necks Sweet liberty and her faithlessness Freedom? I don't hear any more songs of freedom |
