"Hope" Lyrics

The Martyrs of democracy
are lying in the street,
People with the power,
kill to keep their piece,

A string of lies justifies,
whatever they decide will be,
and steal the right of liberty.

And I hope it's gonna be alright,
it's gonna be alright, alright
And I hope it's gonna be alright,
it's gonna be alright, alright

Naivete, the sanctuary,
was bequethed to the young,
we hand them a legacy
of all we have become,

The moral crimes of evil minds,
forever blinded by their greed,
have lost all sight of honesty.

And I hope they're gonna see the light,
it's gonna be alright, alright
And I hope they're gonna be alright,
they're gonna be alright, alright

Fuel the fire with our desire,
to buy a life of luxury,
and peace of mind with charity,

And I hope I'm going to sleep tonight,
it's gonna be alright, alright
And I hope they're gonna be alright,
they're gonna be alright, alright
aaaaar, it's gonna be alright,
it's gonna be alright, alright
aaaaar, it's gonna be alright, alright
