Race for Freedom
I look to the left,
I look to the right,
I see the Supreme Leader crushing our hope
He wants power,
He craves more!
"Why do you keep secrets and lie to us?"
That is what I hear the people bellow
But the Government brushes them off
And says, "It is for your own good..."
We back down and let them trample us.
The people's eyes are being opened,
The Tyrant's race is coming to an end
The trampling of his subjects will finally be obsolete.
Everyone cheers as he stumbles and falls,
But he rises to his feet and crosses the finish line
Destroying spirits, crushing hopes.
I look to the left,
I look to the right,
I see eyes glaze over
One by one hands go up in 'heil'
As I get in line to receive my star.
