All my life spent listening to the same old lies, Bound working to the same old time, Kept hush about the same old crimes, But if we get any further right, I'll be finding a place where I can freely live my life, In a manner that I feel's right, For a purpose that furthers light, Never having to struggle or fight, For the freedoms of the common man, For the love of a giving hand. Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb All my life told I should not defy, Taught I should just comply, That I'm a villain if I occupy, But if none of us try ask why, We'll never see a time, When a black life's worth a white, When a woman isn't undermined, When greed isn't held up high, When none of us have to die, For the freedoms of the common man, For the love of a giving hand. Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb Numb
