it’s a pock-marked landscape and victory is claimed
\nno-one really wins among those who play this game
\nI see the suffering never ends, it will continue on
\nsince religion will still be there, even when capitalism has won<\/p>\n
and they call it democracy reigning supreme
\nand exerting it’s power over those lowly beings
\nand what of the people at the heart of it all
\nthe people whose lives have nothing in store<\/p>\n
I know very little about where we’re going or have been
\nbut the human spirit is alive, the human being
\nand religion are the roots of all evil I know
\nreligion causes more suffering than any wanton foe
\nbecause foes are all based on differing ideals
\nand on man’s insecurity in the realm of the free<\/p>\n
and free we are to express what we say
\nbut that hasn’t changed the beauty of the day
\nthe beauty of the night or the life that we lead
\nand what is it for us to say who we have freed
\nand under what circumstance their lives may be better
\nbecause the human race is just an animal race
\nno matter what we claim to be<\/p>\n
and this super power in which I don’t believe
\nit’s exerting its force on everything I see
\nand doesn’t represent what you or I think
\nonly corporate profit and a stymied power to think<\/p>\n
no, nothing’s changing,
\nwe might have won a war<\/p>\n
but I’m still glad I voted for Gore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
