Lyrics for Melodie Is A Wound

Flawed, the extradition request Blown, the freedom of conscience Is there some form of justice possible or So long, public's right to know the truth Gagged, muzzled by the powerful Cultivate ignorance and hate The goal is to manipulate Heavy hands to intimidate Snuff out the very idea of clarity Strangle your longing for truth and trust Choke, wisdom sapience and prudence The war economy is inviolable violently Suppresses all intelligence that conflicts With the stakes of those who drive it Truthfulness has fallen in desuetude
