Semblance of Liberty

Born to fight, and we're born to flee
 Doomed to live on ecstasy
 Born to lie, and we're born to cheat
 Look in the mirror, who do you see?
 Born to flee, and we're born to fight
 Without your mask, you're terrified
 Don't hide your personality
 That's who you are, your identity
 ♪
 If the virtues of tomorrow
 Cause the greed of today
 We won't have a future
 Nor liberty
 Born to breathe, and we're born to pursue
 That's all we are supposed to do
 The semblance of our liberty
 Is nothing more than slavery
 Born to flee, and we're born to fight
 Is it failure that's our delight?
 Born to cheat, and we're born to lie
 Look at yourself, have you lost your mind?

 If the virtues of tomorrow
 Cause the greed of today
 We won't have a future
 And no more liberty
 If the virtues of tomorrow
 Set the need on the way
 We won't have a future nor liberty
 (Private vice leads to public virtue)
 ♪
 Raised to think that we are free
 Living in our caves
 (Being slaves)
 We lost control of our lives
 At the mercy of the waves
 (Massive waves)
 Blind to see what's going on
 Conditioned as we are
 (And we are)
 We lost control of our greed
 But now we face it all
 (Face our fall)
 Keeping all that we've created
 And consuming all that's possible
 Reaching deep into temptation
 Nothing can stop us
 Guarantee our hard-earned profits
 Multiplied ten-fold if possible
 Reaching out for new redemption
 Nothing avails our needs
 My opponent won't rule out raising taxes
 But I will
 And the congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say no
 And they'll push, and I'll say no
 And they'll push again, and I'll say to them
 Read my lips

 If the virtues of tomorrow

 If the virtues of tomorrow
 Set the need on the way
 We never had a future anyway
 We had no future 'til today

 Time and tide
 Will not wait for anyone
