"Hope" lyrics

The martyrs of democracy are lying in the street
People with the power, kill to keep their piece
A string of lies justifies, whatever they decide will be, and steal the right of liberty
And I hope it's gonna be alright, (it's gonna be alright), alright
And I hope it's gonna be alright, (it's gonna be alright), alright

Naivete, the sanctuary, was bequethed to the young
We hand them a legacy of all we have become
The moral crimes of evil minds, forever blinded by their greed, have lost all sight of honesty

And I hope they're gonna see the light, (it's gonna be alright), alright
And I hope they're gonna be alright, (they're gonna be alright), alright

Fuel the fire with our desire, to buy a life of luxury, and peace of mind with charity

And I hope I'm going to sleep tonight, (it's gonna be alright), alright
And I hope they're gonna be alright, (they're gonna be alright), alright
Aaah, it's gonna be alright, (it's gonna be alright), alright
Aaah, (it's gonna be alright), alright
