Story behind the song
Walk the streets of the city and you will see what I mean Hatred violence destruction and greed you may ask yourself why should I care Its all happenin way over there dont we live in the home of the brave dont we live in the land of the free down here on the farm and in the big bad city we were promised the ameriKan dream but they take everything away and sell us what we used to get for free with no shot heard around the world we were quiet so they took the liberty but I remember something different I remember what freedom means and it's got nothing to do with destruction hatred violence or greed i dont want to follow the rules stand in line and work like a SLAVE held by the chains of a bank note while the boss he digs your grave tell me jesus what will you do when there's no one left to be saved tell me jesus what will you do when they finally dig up your grave the piper waits at the gates of dawn and now he wants to be paid....who will be left when it's all said and done to clean up the mess that we've made?
