witch hunt – …as priorities decay lyrics
i won’t apologize for my beliefs because you don’t like what you hear-
i won’t censor my words because it’s the truth that you fear- i won’t
pretend to smile or look the other way- i won’t sit and watch our priorities
decay- you watch the 11:00 news and believe what you hear- flush away their
sins- dispose of your convictions- water down the truth- join the parade-
when the team you root for wins we can blindly celebrate- grab a bowl of
popcorn- watch the showdown in iraq- in between commercials drink another
beer- every minute lost in front of the television is another bit of
knowledge never to be seen again- convenience, apathy, faith, comfort-
call it what you please- take another percussette- then maybe you’ll
sleep at ease- but while you mind is dreaming more are being oppressed-
you can close your eyes while children are put to rest- it’s not 1984
anymore and the reagan years are over- it’s terror that we fear in our
post-9/11 world- “either you’re with us or you’re with the terrorist”
the village idiot once stated- if you ask me anthrax is not what i’m
most afraid of.- we can build something with these ashes floating in
the air- or we can let them settle to the ground- but one day a tree
will grow through this cold, hard mud- and history will resurface
into a new life form.
