FOX ELIPSUS...: LISTEN TO THE MUSIC

Set Us Free

(FOX ELIPSUS...)
Fox Salehi

Momentum Disc 1

 

Looks like the war might soon be over

I suppose it's time to celebrate

A million innocent people have died

Justified with a lie, I guess we all make mistakes

 

Do you think we're not to blame this time

When this was all done in your name and mine

Do you think that we don't have a choice

In this freedom and democracy

We don't have a voice, Why don't we have a voice?

 

The teachers think that no-one cares

Cause all they see are vacant stares

But the only thing my TV airs

Comes from five major news networks

Whose CEOs are billionaires

With vested interests and corporate shares

Who are paid more money than you'll ever see

To scare the life out of you and me

 

When I was young

I had a dream

And I'm still holding on

To what I believe

All the people

Control our destiny

All of us equal

In a world that's peaceful

Set us free...

Set us free...

Only we can set us free...

Set us free...

Set us free...

Only you and me, only we can set us free...

 

The right-wing reign is nearly over, they say

Now we can go back to sleep till 2016

But if we all go on living this way

We don't have a chance, things will never change

Cause they know exactly how to get inside us

How to segregate and divide us

It's genius how they've got 300 million people

Fighting amongst ourselves

About illegal immigration, and gun control and religion,

And whether we should murder criminals and force women to bear children,

Are these moral choices the government's business?

It's time that we start asking the right questions,

 

Like who are the ones who control all the information?

And why can't you afford your children's education?

And why can't we afford simple medicine?

When we live in the world's richest nation? x2

 

When I was young

I had a dream

And I'm still holding on

To what I believe

All the people

Control our own destiny

All of us equal

In a world that's peaceful

So set us free...

Set us free...

Only we can set us free...

Set us free...

Set us free...

Only we can set us free...

 

And the heroes who died for you did not wear red white and blue

They wore the colours of the world, and they were shot down cause too many people heard

Them scream.... We heard them screaming out, Set us free...

 

John F Kennedy, set us free

Robert Kennedy, set us free

Martin Luther King, set us free

 

Jimmy Carter set us free

William Clinton set us free

Paul David Hewson set us free

 

John Lennon, set us free

John Lennon can you hear me?

Mahatma Gandhi set us free

 

Mandela Mandela

Mandela Mandela

Nelson Mandela, Mandela set us free

Obama Obama

Obama Obama

Barack Obama, Obama set us free

 

When I was young

I had a dream

And I'm still holding on

To what I believe

All of the people

Control our own destiny

All of us equal

In a world that's peaceful

So set us free

Set us free

Only we, only we can set us free

Sing it out

Set us free

Set us free

Only we, only we can set us free.
