Dangerous Times

Have you seen what's recognized As liberty in a soldier's disguise Freedom walking bound but untied In the gravity of these dangerous times You paint me with the smell of death In every breath of every myth That mouthed the words that led the troops That crashed the walls and butchered youth I'm supposed to fight for you Sacrifice and die for you I'm supposed to close my eyes And let you define this world of mine No, no, no, no, no How can I recognize The quiet monsters that reside In a galaxy of truth with particular lies Parading as gods in a bad disguise Well, I'm supposed to know from you The bigger truths never proved The way this world has always moved In your mind I'm supposed to fight for you Sacrifice and die for you I'm supposed to close my eyes And let you define this world of mine No, no, no, no, no In the land of the living ruled by the dead What crazy thoughts run through my head Am I an animal hunting for blood Or a lost soldier looking for love Where is my king, my lord is gone We made a play and cut him out He had blood, blood on his mind In these dangerous times Well, I'll never fight for you Won't sacrifice, won't die for you I'll just use my eyes And define for me this world of mine In these dangerous times In these dangerous times Don't muzzle me, muzzle me, muzzle me, insecure man Intolerant man Don't tell me lies No leader of mine In these dangerous times In these dangerous times We'll get by in these dangerous times We'll get by in these dangerous times We'll get by in these dangerous times In these dangerous times We'll get by We'll get by
