A Matter of Conscience

I know what you're telling me to do, but I can't ignore the bended truth. I will always remember, what the world will forget, A future once filled with promise is not filled with anything - except with regret. I know what I want is not what I need, what are you taking me for? It consumes every thought - the air that I breathe, Don't let it trouble your conscience anymore. There's no way to make me understand the perfect reality, And there's always a scapegoat right at hand, - just paint the target on me. We fell for all of the jargon, I can still hear the cry, Join a volunteer army that never did anything, and never asked why. I know what I want is not what I need, what are you taking me for? It consumes every thought - the air that I breathe, Don't let it trouble your conscience anymore.
