lyrics

Dear Future Land of our children,
May the ones that we've deminished, forgive.
We violate and disrespect a great nation
Built by blood and sweat that stood where we live
What can we do to fix this?
Can our children heal our glitches
Mistakes have been made
- and we've paid, and we'll continue to pay
till the day that were laid down to rest

Remember looking in the skies
and chasing around butterflies
Making pictures in the clouds
creating our dreams

Theres to many heroes and statues
and people taking more then what they deserve
Please don't confuse my words
with other words you may have heard
Deserve is more rewarding then earned

People earning their living
Dollar signs for needless killing
Lets wake up the dead
and see what they would say
for the way that they died for our greed

Remember looking in the skies
and chasing around butterflies
Making pictures in the clouds
and creating dreams
at some point we swapped our pleasure
Stopped respecting mother nature
Stopped respecting human beings
Marked ourselves kings

Step right up and take a swing
Cause money can buy everything
and create stepping stones
and create broken bones

Step right up and take a shot
Unless it sets you back alot
Then back right up again
and watch the next fall in......

all will fall
we are all kings

(lets wake up the dead and see what they would say for the way that they died for our greed)
