We live in a world of phantom choice,
Where we speak but no one will hear our voice,
The world we live in is full of poverty,
and many question the ways of Liberty.
We think we are living free,
but to know that we can never flee,
Money is just thrown away,
more and more goes by the day.
The governments speak of what is "right",
because the truth they cannot fight,
The peace of the world is nothing more,
as we soon begin a new war.
The Governments watch us like an eagle on its prey,
because the fear of a rebellion some day,
They keep us in a cage,
they let us die of old age.
The world is a house of cards,
falling without any guards,
The worlds nations come and go,
but soon they may all fall we know.
Do politicians speak a sentence without a lie?
In the world of today we continue to die,
They say they hear our voice,
But there is no, Freedom of Choice.
