lyrics

Usurpia
And was it you or I that came here with big dreams?
And who was it that told the latest lie, you or I?
And is it you or I that knows fear of cell walls?
And I’ll rebel against your government.
For as long as I can. For as long as I dare.
It shouldn’t be fear that protects me.
Just my own hands on my own land.
I blame myself for not seeing this.
I should have got up long ago.
I should have got up long ago.
And walked away from here.
And walked away from here.
Far away as I can.
Far away as I dare.
And is it you or I that laughs here, behind the bullet?
And who was it revealed safety, behind the gun?
And was it you or I that wept here for their son?
And I’ll defy all you put before me.
For as long as I can. For as long as I dare.
You take our gold and our minerals.
The one thing that you gave,
God knows, He takes our souls.
I should have got up long ago.
I should have got up long ago.
And walked away from here.
And walked away from here.
Far away as I can.
Far away as I dare.
One day we’ll become human,
Just like one of your friends.
You push our young into the bottle.
You push our old into the grave.
And God knows, He takes our souls.
I should have got up long ago.
I should have got up long ago.
And walked away from here.
