going by Each new answer just brings ten new questions My eyes have finally opened Armored human wrecks walking the streets Longing for a leader to take away their pain We have not learned anything Let me live another day Without sorrow, without fear Let me feel the wind on my face Let me feel the sun And live my days with fun Let me sing this hymn to life Molesting and incest Unloving parents feeding the oven of madness known as planet earth Love turns into prostitution Embracing into violence Lovemaking into fucking Greed kills our humanity, morality our natural needs Jealousy kills the friendship Let me live another day Without sorrow, without fear Let me feel the wind on my face Let me feel the sun And live my days with fun Let me sing this hymn to life
