In the land of the freer
Evidence, it's no use
♪
I've been bathing in the blood of our success
I guess it is just the stubborn side of man
That can see a riot and somehow think
There could actually be no good reason
You want to see what people are really like
I'm not really sure you want to be knowing
How could they say
Murder in the name of national security
Yo no sé
They say murder in the name of national security

But there's silence in the way
But there's silence in the way

Evidence, it's no use
This is just the life that's been chosen for me
Yeah, well
I've been sipping on the blood of sweet success
Before history punishes us for it
You want to see what people are really like
Watch them light a torch
Understand and end this game
How could it be
Murder in the name of officer security
Yo no sé
They say murder in the name of officer security
If I was batting I'd be right behind ya
It's not the first time that I've been lied to
All words are made up before I was born
My friend the walls say only they'll keep me warm
You know it, lies are comforting
Bye-bye, bye-bye (Bye-bye)
You know it, obliviousness
I leave it in my dreams, my dreams
You know it, on my own
Sitting down right here
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
♪
I wanted it
Murder in the name of personal security
Yo no sé
Yes I'm going out tonight
Just don't wanna be fooled again
(We all) Play those mind games and we stay unaware
Not angels, not fiends
But just human beings
♪
We work so hard to become a faint memory
In the mind of a collective group of strangers
Leaving all my melodies behind
