Defiance Is Not Un-american

In a war of human nature,

we'll prove ourselves again;

And although we may fight to the death,

still no one's gonna win.

As an arbitrary ally is sworn in as a friend,

Upon this altar of diplomacy,

the sacrifice is you and me.

In a war of legislation,

the classic dose of fear is

unleashed upon the populace

until the threat is clear.

We gaze and stare accusingly,

and we question every friend;

but in these religious wars,

both sides are condemned.

As I look back,

the past starts to crumble;

As I walk the path of subversion,

torn and humbled, I feel our virtue fading,

worn and tattered.

And as I see our future, I am shattered.

I may not have the answers,

but I still know right from wrong,

If what we want is peace,

War cannot belong.

We represent the voice of opposition.
