Lyrics: Boy Sets Fire. Walk Astray.

Where were you the day they stole our innocence?
And arranged a sacrifice for everyone in town
To bore the words yet to be written underground
To save the money on the kerosene they need

Were you awake or were you sleeping?
Or just too afraid to disagree?

Well, I don't wanna sing about freedom anymore
I wanna see it, I wanna feel it
I wanna know that it still sits
Beyond the lies that we've been told
Beyond the wars that keep our families from home

I know that there's a way
Dear God, let there be a way
To change the path we're on
(Path we're on)
And believe in a better day

Our dreams are their worst nightmares
These songs a call to arms
We can dance on the graves that held us
We can change the course of time

Stand up and fight, save yourself, strike, the time is now
You and me, we are more like sheep
(More like sheep)
Forced to march crippled feet to the slaughter

I'll stand on principle
Banner lifted and a fist raised high
Filthy soul with a patriot heart
Dancing rhythms in a world apart

Stand up and fight, save yourself, strike, the time is now
You and me, we are more like sheep
(More like sheep)
Forced to march crippled feet to the slaughter

You and me, we can live like thieves
On the dreams that we stole from their fears

Casting pearls before swine, hanging dead on the vine
Can we strive to be so much more than this?
Casting pearls before swine, hanging dead on the vine
Can we strive to be so much more than this?

You and me, we are more like sheep
(More like sheep)
Forced to march crippled feet to the slaughter
To the slaughter, to the slaughter, to the slaughter
