lyrics

This sight took all your dreams away
Not a free world but a masquerade
Too many presidents who said:
“Let’s kill the sons I never had”

An oppressed nest’s where you’re coming from
You refused the plan that was made for you
A little girl who kept on dreaming of
the promised free world - not free at all

(And he said)
“Let’s kill the sons I never had”
Not a metaphor
But the men he sent to death in war to loose their heads
It’s all broken promises in (an) ignorant debate!

An oppressed nest’s where you’re coming from
You refused the plan that was made for you
A little girl who kept on dreaming of
the promised free world - not free at all

You’ve come a long way (3x)
To fight the treason of the lot

This sight took all your dreams away
Expression vs. Oppression
Intelligence lost from ignorance
This sight took all your dreams away

An oppressed nest’s where you’re coming from.
You refused the plan that was made for you
A little girl who kept on dreaming of
the promised free world - not free at all

Do you think it Works? Your ‘anarchy’ plot?
I wished it would work, but our minds stay locked
But remember you did well
Dear Emma you did well
Red Emma your ideals will stay and in our hearts we will always say:
“Don’t let this sight take all your dreams away”
“Don’t let this sight take all your dreams away”.
