---Ascend (Loveall / Gelting / Sparrow)--- Let there be an end my friends to the politics of blindness and the message that it sends When the richest nation in the world doesn't care about its poor They spin the press and don't address their reasons or their wars Let there be an end my friends to the religious right and the morals it pretends Will save us from the rapture that I fear will never come Stealing rights from women and gays...at least we still have guns We're drowning in a cesspool of such unforgiving hands What's happened to this new world, what's happened to this land? Let there be an end my friends to the mercenary armies and the greed that they defend When I was young they told me of a red impoverished land That spied and tortured people, spreading lies across the sands We're better and able to what we have succumbed We voted in these people and their lies on which we're hung Let there be an end my friends to wireless tapping and the creed that it offends We have a cozy green zone right here in our backyard Full of angry people feeling tired and working hard We're willing and able to work toward better days But back off from that oil boys and end your killing ways Ⓟ Heavy Wooden Records BMI (2008) BMI Work # 9735760 ISRC: us-cgj-10-84920 ISWC # T9012563392 UPC# 884502522990
