standing up for

I was talking to a friend  about how freedom doesnt matter anymore
if we hide away in houses and our voices can be easily ignored
my friends just said hey buddy don't you know that we're a nation at war?
and I noticed that his fingers we're increasingly looking like claws
now they're tearing up the country and they're turning us all into outlaws

When the sun returns in spring time the bitter stars feel just like such a draw
and my half constructed arguments just tumble like a city made of straw
and the world just keeps on spinning, but my mind is like a nation at war
but my memory must be fading cause I dont know what I'm staying up for 


Well our leaders speak of freedom but you know thy're only settling a score
they hide away in houses under cover of our necessary law
any lie is justified when youre a nation at war
and the helping hands they offered were increasingly looking like claws
now they're turning up the country and turning us all into outlaws
now they're turning up the country and turning us all into outlaws
