The Whole World Is Watching — текст песни (Morning Glory)

i was standing on the stop
thinking of humanity
when you came along so righteous with a new national hate
so convincing is the ardor of war and of men
it`s harder to breathe than to believe you`re a friend

you stick me in the back with a sideways smile
unity`s the front of a gang mentality
you`re trying to burn the ashes
but they won`t catch fire
while reason is coagulating in the mire

as the final poor man`s carcass washes up on my shore
i don`t know much but i know that wars begets more war

are you willing to wait?
for another watergate?
this national uproar`s got me in surrender
fear is the sender

cuz the whole wide world is watching
but no one`s doin anything
the whole wide world is watching
we justify the enemy

how unpopular it seems to be persuasive for peace
i got a mind full of destruction-
but it`s only for me
like a wedding vow i speak the word: equality
but alas i feel that everyone is stronger than me

you know that i was born against the O.I.A.
(opression, ignorance, & authority)
but that is nothing new if you`ve heard what i say

as the mahatma sheds a tear, buried so deep underground
we continue to uphold the men who keep us down

are you willing to die
for a president-sized lie?
for a man you`ve never met?
why ask why?
we stick our brother
while the whole wide world is watching

all we are
and dreams to be
come to pass,
it won`t, you`ll see
should the land we claim to be
chain the world so we are free
though i try to see
i`m blinded by the light in front of me
are we doomed to stumble on and to repeat?
well so it seems
