Like a rock through a mosque in Jerusalem

a bullet through the head in Vietnam

a cannon through the wall at Antietam

or the army through the people in Tiananmen

well our history is rife (that's right)

with examples of our disregard for human life

so we imitate what we see (TV)

and we follow this culture

right down to our knees

and I don't see it getting any better today

until we replace our priorities over our pay

and the only world that we ever seem to know

is based on aquaintances and TV shows

another degredation, self revelation,

rocks through the veil of one antoher liberation



[Chorus]

Response...to action

Trigger...synapses

Conditioned...reaction



Is this what you call free?



Like a rock through a mosque in Jerusalem

a bullet through the head in Vietnam

a cannon through the wall at Antietam

or the army through the people in Tiananmen

well our history is rife (that's right)

with examples of our disregard for human life

so we imitate what we see (TV)

and we follow this culture

right down to our knees

and I don't see it getting any better today

until we replace our priorities over our pay

and the only world that we ever seem to know

is based on aquaintances and TV shows

another degredation, self revelation,

rocks through the veil of one antoher liberation



[Chorus]
