Verse 2: (same as V1)
We tried to speak between lines of oration- you could only repeat what we told you
Your axe belongs to a dying nation- they don't know that we own you
You're watching movies trying to find the feelers- you only see what we show you
We're the slaves of the phony leaders- breathe the air we have blown you
