Why do we accept violence in the name of tradition? 
 Break out of this cycle of [bad word] 
 Deception and domination walk together hand in hand 
 I won't take part anymore 
 When the answer is right before our eyes 
 How could we let ourselves [bad word] so [bad word] blind 
 To the need for [bad word] to compassion? 
 We cut our own throats when we live without respect for life 
 [bad word] around... 
 All our excuses are just conditioning 
 Forced into our minds passed down long enough 
 That we've turned away from all rationality 
 The slaughter of the innocents goes unmentioned 
 While murder is condemned everyday 
 The screams of the tortured are ignored or accepted 
 But never questioned 
 Is this how we're to live in this world? 
 Face the [bad word]  man did not weave the web of life, 
 He is merely a strand in it- 
 Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself... 
 violent hand has assumed control to satisfy demand 
 Providing us with what we're made to think we need to survive 
 And while we thrive on ignorance...indifference...the blood flows 
 We've got to make the choice to realize 
 These lives mean so much more 
 Break out of the cycle 
 In the midst of chaos we have no explanation 
 And exploitation with no consideration is our crime 
 In the age of progress and unrestrained advancement 
 We demand respect for those 
 All those we refuse to leave behind
