Lyrics

saw the towers when they fell down saw the ashes on the ground
heard the sirens, heard the cries while the planes fell from the skies
then I heard somebody say there's gonna be some hell to pay
a war on terror has begun and now we got Osama on the run
and as the smoke it filled the air in the backroom of some corporate lair
they made their plans for endless war and the profits they began to soar
and while the people cheered them on the freedom they once knew had gone
auctioned to the profiteers and all that they had left behind was fear
there's a face you'll never see in this at-risk democracy
he hides behind the smoke and flames ringing up his bloody gains
while leaders bow to these same kings who fill their purses and pull their strings
who tell you who must live or die why you must kiss your liberty goodbye
don't let them, don't let them take it
take it all away....
