[Verse 1]
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who risked his life
Who challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth
Just to cast a brighter light
[Pre-Chorus]
The notion that we
Can live as one in perfect harmony
Requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity that I believe
Is in the air, but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation's heart is bleedin'
[Chorus]
But oh, when the violence has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
While the fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
[Verse 2]
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny
To divide his people with zeal
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who risked his life
Who challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth
Just to cast a brighter light
[Pre-Chorus]
The notion that we
Can live as one in perfect harmony
Requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity that I believe
Is in the air, but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation's heart is bleedin'
[Chorus]
But oh, when the violence has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
While the fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
[Verse 2]
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny
To divide his people with zeal
