You Cannot Save Us - Written and recorded by Victor Snow.
Solo artist and one man band from Kansas City.
Story behind the song
Wot I think about statists; both on the left and on the right.
Lyrics
Walk through this door, you say, it's a window to a better future
Turn away from selfish thoughts and embrace the whole.
Cooperative existence will be the new reality.
Free from strife and free from hate, when you accept your role.
------
You cannot save us from ourselves
You cannot chain our lives to someone else
You cannot bend the will of the free (You will not break us)
You will not rule us with your zealotry, your ecology, your theology, oh no
------
Do not think for youself, you say, because the words are clearly written
How you are to live each day is carved in stone
And I will be the aribter, the interpreter, of the sacred will
For in my hand I wield the blessed holy sword
I don't care what your god tells you.
I don't care how you think the world should be.
I don't care if my words offend you.
And I'll be damned if I'm enslaved to some utopian dream.
