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

[Laughs!]

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

[George H. W. Bush]

If the virtues of tomorrow

Set the need on the way

We never had a future anyway

We had no future 'till today

Time and tide

Will not wait for anyone
