george monastiriakos - that was you كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]

i’m a reasonable guy, all i need is a reason to die
all i need is my beliefs to survive
all i need is the people to rise, no rewards and no prize
i have my hands tied trying to reach for the sky
they ask me why, where do i get my drive
it’s from the evil i despise that’s been k!lling me inside
but they’re so desensitized, wasting all their f-ckin’ time
that they’ve forgotten the logic that should live inside their minds
that’s the reason i’m breathing, it’s the meaning of freedom
it’s repeatedly beating the demon of greed you believe in
i’m a man of peace ’cause real moves in one direction
jesus said it, but we’re still pretending, seeking protection
neglecting that we need to recognize our mistakes to correct them
forgetting the essence, respecting human rights is the message
you export the violence and k!ll humans on auto-pilot
but don’t expect my consent cause you’ll never get my silence

[chorus]

i don’t support dozens of dictators (that was you)
i don’t have a thousand military bases (that was you)
i don’t -ss-ssinate leaders in distant nations (that was you)
i don’t destabilize countries for corporations (that was you)
700 billion for the war machine (that was you)
i’m not the single biggest threat to world peace (that was you)
i didn’t harm a single living human being (that was you)
condemning millions to a life misery (that was you)

[verse 2]

look me in the eyes, when fear dies you finally feel alive
i didn’t write history or force you on the wrong side
they’ll say i’m crazy, but you k!ll innocent babies
and your corporations orchestrated the occupation of haiti
genocide in guatemala, executed che guevara
somozas in nicaragua, sandinistas, iran-contra
you funded the drama, and you backed batista
and dozens of puppets from indonesia to argentina
be honest, acknowledge the truth, look what karma could do
you tried to k!ll castro and he outlived all of you
musevini, the saudis, kagame, and the duvaliers
trujilo, the shah, mobutu, and pinochet
i didn’t hang john brown for trying to free the slaves
i didn’t put black people in a zoo or in a cage
you export the violence and put the gaza strip on a diet
but don’t expect my consent cause you’ll never get my silence

[chorus]

[verse 3]

i see humanity crumbling, i see death and destruction
i could feel the bombs dropping, machine guns humming
innocent people running, i can’t stomach it
broken, stressed, hoping, blessed knowing death’s approaching
just imagine all the human beings that aren’t here today
all the innocent babies that are rotting in a grave
they had names, feelings, families and friends too
they were just like me and you, and what could i do
but write a status or a song, and you tell me that i’m wrong
cause words are stronger than weapons, and stronger than your bombs
strong as 3 million souls forgotten in vietnam
forgotten just like your god, he’s gone, you’re all liars
so tell me, what’s a man supposed to do against an empire
no excuses, why do you view them as less than human
it’s serious, f-ck your opinions, we gotta deal with this
so when i die i’ll multiply and i’m coming back as millions

[chorus]
