Democracy, hypocrisy— How terribly muddled their meaning. Truth and right, lies and fright— What is the message we’re sending? Freedom so precious Must strengthen and grow, Strengthen and grow forever. Freedom’s plight: Does might make right? Make truth and justice the answer. (Repeat last two verses)
