Visionary Over Mercenary

Call it what you will
Declare it the promised land
An infrastructure built on properties of demand
Where you have to kill yourself
To keep up with the pace
Without letting the world around you blow up in your face

We should've known
We should've known before
That the upper echelons will push us right outside the door
Who's the one to lead us by example
Not the one who threw us down and let us get fucking trampled

And when they break their promises
And an oath to keep their country safe
They'll say they're doing the best they can
What happened to freedom and liberty
What happened to knowledge and integrity
What happened to turning the can't to can

When you try to turn the page
Or look the other way
The overwhelming truth fights to stand another day
That they are just a fraction
Of the human race
And yet they don't have the courage to embrace

Ideas to help people in need
A simple solution
That they choose not to see
There's no rationalizing anything when nothing's up to the
Population of people that suffer everyday

And when they break their promises
And an oath to keep their country safe
They'll say they're doing the best they can
What happened to freedom and liberty
What happened to knowledge and integrity
What happened to turning the can't to can

I can't
I can't
I can't stop it
You can't
You can't
You can't stop it
We can't
We can't
We can't can stop it
We can
We can
We can
Stop
