The emperor made speeches claiming to want peace Carried in by tanks and bombs and crushed beneath his feet
Killing what compassion that he may have had
Taking out the criminals and ravaging the land
Suing his own people to fund his little games
Of Indians and cowboys that no one wants to play

Do you even see them? Do you even care? Do you even hear them when they cry out in
despair?

Consider now the price the missionary pays
Caesar has his law and we’re expected to obey
Even when it contradicts the laws of love and charity St. Theresa’s been arrested and they’ve thrown away the key

So who cares about religion they don’t want it here
We can’t alleviate their pain,
we’re not allowed to wipe their tears
So forget about the past propaganda's we were fed Before we found out on our own
They made up everything they said
Patriotic blindfold - defend yourself or die!
Kill your enemies, kill their children
And your ruler takes the prize

Do you even see them? Do you even care? Do you even hear them When they cry out in despair?
