pray for a new age
pray for information
i can hope, see
even if i don't believe

pray for a new state
pray for communication
i can hope, see
even if i don't believe

and
i believe
i think
i don't know

history will show
our progress is slow
when we win
we win in inches

the future deaf
so the few left
will need a fist
when no one will listen

know where we stand
know we pay the man
it's my flag
it's my flag

know i'm not kneeling
know what i'm feeling
my god above
or total lack of

but
i lack...

i think...
i don't know

my faith is barren
i don't believe the prayer
and it's not a sin
and it's not opinion

know i'm a man
know where i stand
in an affront
to god and country

pray for a new state
pray for assassination
i can hope, see?
even if i don't believe

and
i believe
i think
