For forty-two years
We've been living
In a shadow
A frozen picture
One they say is of tomorrow
I don't want to see
Any scenes in their movie
I just want to be
Involved in the victory
For so long
We have seen
All the writing on the wall
Seems to some
Before too long
Something will fall
After all this time
Do we ever get the real picture
I'm not sure myself
I'm just waiting for the leader
There are people who care
And they're a pleasure to see
I don't want to be butchered
Set free the future
And let us live our lives
Set free the future
We don't want to be
Involved in a fight
Set free
Set free the future
Set free
Set free the future
We've been living
In a shadow
A frozen picture
One they say is of tomorrow
I don't want to see
Any scenes in their movie
I just want to be
Involved in the victory
For so long
We have seen
All the writing on the wall
Seems to some
Before too long
Something will fall
After all this time
Do we ever get the real picture
I'm not sure myself
I'm just waiting for the leader
There are people who care
And they're a pleasure to see
I don't want to be butchered
Set free the future
And let us live our lives
Set free the future
We don't want to be
Involved in a fight
Set free
Set free the future
Set free
Set free the future
