Suspicious Times

They got you doing things
You swore you'd never do
Spreading misinformation and aggravation
Think they know what's best for you
You get one foot in the door
Then they'll send you out to war
Keep you scarred and scared
Til you can't take it anymore

In the name of the father (in the name of the father)
In the name of the son (in the name of the son)
They're hijacking peace (they're hijacking peace)
In the name of anyone

No more songs of freedom
Everyone's afraid of liberty
No more songs of redemption
Nobody wants to say they're sorry
No more songs of devotion
Everyone's afraid of falling in love
No more songs of salvation
Nobody wants to save anything that much

Give them bread and circuses
And they'll never bite you back
If you keep on lying to yourself
That's the kind of people you'll attract
Nobody wants to know ya
No matter where you go yeah
The world ain't pretty whoever said it was
Has never seen the ugly truth up close

In the name of the father (in the name of the father)
In the name of the son (in the name of the son)
They're hijacking peace (they're hijacking peace)
In the name of anyone

No more songs of freedom
Everyone's afraid of liberty
No more songs of redemption
Nobody wants to say they're sorry
No more songs of devotion
Everyone's afraid of falling in love
No more songs of salvation
Nobody wants to save anything that much

No more songs of freedom
Everyone's afraid of liberty
No more songs of redemption
Nobody wants to say they're sorry
No more songs of devotion
Everyone's afraid of falling in love
No more songs of salvation
Nobody wants to save anything that much

We have to redefine
Where we draw the lines
We can't go on together
In these suspicious times
