We couldn't stop their use
Despite all that had died
By such an evil abuse.
They wouldn't read the facts
They said we were all wrong
So they continue their evil acts
As they sing the same old song.

The rulers, " They wouldn't read the facts They said we were all wrong " they don't care.. they seek power
Those in power, " They wouldn't read the facts They said we were all wrong ".. They just want power…
