I forgot the last verse:

It's freedom of speech - as long as you don't say too much

I think we're all runnin' thinkin' that we can hide

I think we're runnin' tryin' to get away

But sooner or later we gonna realize

We gonna meet up with the truth face to face

I’m not liberal and believe a nation should be strong enough to defend itself. The world is complex and it’s hard to define international rules and standards because of things that happened in the past, decisions made at the time of the Cold War were not necessarily sensible.

I’ll summarise using the lyrics to a Neville Brothers song Sons and Daughters

We think we're safe at home with our bumper stickers saying, "Just say no"

We give up a few freedoms here and there in the name of a squeaky clean America

Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical

Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical

Screaming for blood and justice

Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical

Screaming for blood and justice

They show us the faces of hatred over and over- a new one every week

Could be Manuel Noriega

Could be the Ayatollah

Any old scapegoat'll do

The young man will be our sacrificial lamb

Pro choice- no choice

We're sending our sons and daughters to their slaughter.
