Silence is golden Ignorance bliss Better off not asking What you'd rather forget And as the vice-grip choke holds All of our freedoms are meeting their end And for the wars they wage Numberless troops lie wounded or dead The beatings will continue Until morale improves Free your hate Crusade in the days of rage Perilous folly Rise up against your fate Free your hate Crusade in the days of rage Tireless cunning Stampede and break your chains Terror at gunpoint Torture at large Enemy combatant Labeled a threat Without trial or charge Repetition of history Messenger, prophet Martyr for god All for once and for all Reclaim your power The tyrant must fall The beatings will continue Until morale improves Free your hate Crusade in the days of rage Perilous folly Rise up against your fate Free your hate Crusade in the days of rage Tireless cunning Stampede and break your chains "Violence in America today is not cause for the war It's not cause for a repression There is no romantic ideal involved Let's recognize these people for what they are They're the same thugs and hoodlums That have always plagued the good people." Free your hate In the days of rage Free your hate In the days of rage Free your hate Free your hate Free your hate In the days of rage In the days of rage In the days of rage In the days of rage In the days of rage
