Ballots and Bullets - Rome

One world, one federation, a million tribes

When will you find the courage to join the good fight?

Some of you think we’re cruel and enraged

Some of you think that we’re blind to the wars you wage

Ballots and bullets cannot debate what we know

Ballots and bullets cannot deface the truth we hold

And now that you are so prudent and aged

We see you never really cared for freedom and the rage

Must we lose all courage to gain some peace?

Must we lose all lust in times like these?

Ballots and bullets cannot replace what we’ve grown

Ballots and bullets cannot erase the lies you told

If we are ever to return

It will be in chains

If we are ever to overturn

It will be in vain

Ballots and bullets cannot debate what we know

Ballots and bullets cannot deface the truth we hold

Ballots and bullets cannot replace what we’ve grown
