Open up your heart, you can let in light and that's a start
You know only light can break the dark, so go and light a spark yeah
Open up your eyes, wake up to the propagandous lies
They don't wanna hear you question why, so go and ask them, "Why" now
Why they sellin' crack/cocaine to the kids in the city streets
To the C.I.A. the ends, they justify the means
Don't you know they're blinded by the sight of greed,
Red and green, this Christmas scene
Open up your hands, put them to the earth its dust and sand
Don't you know your will is your command, will it and it will
Do one favor man, be the biggest hero in the land,
Be the one who finally takes a stand, and say, "I am not your man"
Try to trick you, lie to you, sell you on that war machine,
Comin' to your high school, they gonna tell you anything,
You could be a soldier killin' in the middle east
So much fun till the war is won
But this war is never won, it goes on and on, on and on and on
