lyrics

There is a right and wrong and I say
The idea hasn't gone away
Despite the things that people do
To change what we think is true
They say that we decide what's good
As if what we think really could
Change the way the world exists
With grinding teeth and clenched fists

What if I do what I feel
What I want, what's my will
Where is my right to steal
Where is my right to kill

You don't decide what is real
It doesn't change with how you feel
You'll find out it won't be long
There is right and there is wrong

The masters of not so long ago
Owned men who would never know
What it's like to live life free
Because their masters couldn't see
That a law doesn't make it right
There's something else beyond our sight
Today we speak of then's great crime
When all that's changed is law and time

[Chorus]

What are our laws for and what of our love
Are you an animal and nothing above
So why stop now at these lines we've drawn
When all the reasons for stopping are gone

[Chorus]
