"Is It For Freedom"

Rulers of the nations as you fuss and fight

Over who owns this or that and who has the right

To design, build, sell and store and fire

All the bombs and guns to defend your holy empire

There are children hungry, children sick and dying

There are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers crying

They’re only pawns in your play of power and corruption

Slowly starve them, your new weapon of mass destruction

And prove to me, America, that you care

And prove to me, America, you’re aware

Who’s dying for your freedom in this land

Who pays the cost for the liberties you demand

Is it for freedom, or our comfort and convenience

Is it to profit for big business we pledge our allegiance

Are we prisoners in the land of the brave and the bold?

Held by indifference or hearts grown hard and cold (refrain)

Children of the world, you have the right

To sing and dance, run and play, let your dreams take flight

As the innocent die you rulers carry the shame

And if we stand idly by we share in the blame

And oh, America, do we care

Oh, America, are we aware

Who’s dying for our comfort in this land

Who pays the cost for the convenience we demand?

Children of the world, you have the right

To sing and dance, run and play, let your dreams take flight
