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.
