WITCH HUNT - ...As Priorities Decay lyrics

rate me

I won't apologize for my beliefs because you don't like what you hear-<br>

I won't censor my words because it's the truth that you fear- I won't<br>

pretend to smile or look the other way- i won't sit and watch our priorities<br>

decay- You watch the 11:00 news and believe what you hear- Flush away their<br>

sins- Dispose of your convictions- Water down the truth- join the parade-<br>

When the team you root for wins we can blindly celebrate- Grab a bowl of<br>

popcorn- Watch the showdown in Iraq- In between commercials drink another<br>

beer- Every minute lost in front of the television is another bit of<br>

knowledge never to be seen again- Convenience, apathy, faith, comfort-<br>

Call it what you please- Take another percussette- Then maybe you'll<br>

sleep at ease- But while you mind is dreaming more are being oppressed-<br>

You can close your eyes while children are put to rest- It's not 1984<br>

anymore and the Reagan years are over- It's terror that we fear in our<br>

post-9/11 world- "Either you're with us or you're with the terrorist"<br>

the village idiot once stated- If you ask me anthrax is not what I'm<br>

most afraid of.- We can build something with these ashes floating in<br>

the air- Or we can let them settle to the ground- But one day a tree<br>

will grow through this cold, hard mud- and history will resurface<br>

into a new life form.<br>
