They told a lie, but only to protect us-We're sure this fight is seeming never endless-It's time to purge ourselves of this masochism-To stay united, we first must risk this schism-No more, we cry-No more, they die-No more, these feelings of hate-It's not to late-We think we're right, to fear this situation-We take their resources and we're bombing their religion-But you know that this isn't just a game-Impeach the leaders who bring upon this shame-And we're sending these soldiers off to war-Misguided leaders, don't hear our shouts "No More"-They told a lie, but only to protect us-They told a lie, but only to exploit us
