Lies, well they're o.k.
More elaborate every day
Truth, well it's here too
What can you make it do for you?
Greed, it's just a drive
Do what you can to stay alive
Peace, it's just a dream
So rock and roll and kick and scream

And you might notice no one was ever really free
And maybe, just maybe for now that's how it's supposed to be
Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see
Barely see, barely see, barely see, barely see, let's see...
For your parents Ellis Island

Well they were running too
They were running from England
Who were warring with France
Who would conquer Spain
Given half of a chance
But it was the Moslems
Who had gotten there first
When there wasn't the bloodshed
Then there was the thirst
And a hate for the Christians
