Lyrics
Thinking's not easy now its troubled times
Some say don't kill your brother - others say let him die.
I stand in pouring rain I feel the tightening pain.
And it's the last year for a savior the last month to find a president
The last day to raise a monument a monument to freedom
I'm gonna be travelling on my life's gone wrong
I've been a witness here for far too long
I stand with crying eyes we're losing paradise
I am losing you are losing we are losing freedom
I'm gonna be travelling on my life's gone wrong
I've been a witness here for far too long
my life's has gone wrong
I've been a witness here for far too long
