The nations rage and yet they're falling apart Their walls and weapons won't conquer the heart And the fathers and sons, are carrying guns They cover the earth like a flood They labor in vain, for an end to the pain But freedom was purchased in blood And the blind lead the blind further away Each man pursues the dream that's calling his name Each man's desire is fanning the flame And the fathers and sons, are carrying guns They cover the earth like a flood They labor in vain, for an end to the pain But freedom was purchased in blood And the blind lead the blind further away They cry for rights and titles, still they won't kneel And so the wound refuses to heal And the fathers and sons, are carrying guns They cover the earth like a flood They labor in vain, for an end to the pain But freedom was purchased in blood And the blind lead the blind Always they're striving but never arriving in time
