Woke up to a brand new skyline
We licked our wounds and mourn the dead
Swallow the story hook and sinker
Is that what we meant when we said
That we never would forget?
Are we fools and cowards all
To let them cover up their lies?
Cause we all watched the buildings fall
Watched the scales fall from our eyes
A fire burns beneath Manhattan
Still we breathe with broken lungs
We act like none of this matters
Is that what we meant When we said
That we'd sing what must be sung?
Are we fools and cowards all
To let them cover up their lies?
Cause we all watched the buildings fall
Watched the scales fall from our eyes
We want answers
Scream from the roofs
We want justice
We want the truth
We licked our wounds and mourn the dead
Swallow the story hook and sinker
Is that what we meant when we said
That we never would forget?
Are we fools and cowards all
To let them cover up their lies?
Cause we all watched the buildings fall
Watched the scales fall from our eyes
A fire burns beneath Manhattan
Still we breathe with broken lungs
We act like none of this matters
Is that what we meant When we said
That we'd sing what must be sung?
Are we fools and cowards all
To let them cover up their lies?
Cause we all watched the buildings fall
Watched the scales fall from our eyes
We want answers
Scream from the roofs
We want justice
We want the truth

ugh dustin what are you doing? please stay away from the political stuff. there is no 9/11 conspiracy. loose change and all the other similar stuff has been debunked over and over again by credible, knowledgeable people.
just look at this way, if this government was able to pull off the biggest conspiracy in the history of mankind, would have it really been THAT hard to plant a couple of WMDs in Iraq to avoid looking like total idiots?
