At last the passed the laws to protect us from the terrorists Who live among us and who threaten freedom everyday At last it passed attach the taps into our homes Into our phones let not a single thought escape At last it passed now criminal minds won't last At last
Now everyone's a suspect and everyone's afraid Because everyone's a rat and we share the same cage Eating what they're feeding so we're still consuming fear But the only thing we're free from is having our own ideas Boast the most freedom while we host the most laws But the leaders and the feeders will no longer meet applause Until our heads are emptied and refilled with the corrupt Until the end when free communication turns to dust
Still they leave us living life with just enough to convince ourselves That we've got something to lose not much Shut up or lose the little you have don't act so surprised And don't look so confused that communication broke......... down
They brought complete silence to the cities Cause the citizens believed that they could risk their lives To speak out or communicate a thought that wasn't bought Or to fabricate their own ideas with their own minds They brought complete silence to the world And a world gone dead was a credit to them To the one's who built the walls without a care at all To the ones who wanted order that could bore into your head To the people to the cities to the world
Then on one fateful day after many years had past Not knowing any better a small child cried out And another joined in Soon the chorus grew The world had reclaimed its voice And would never be silenced again
