As human beingswe re a complex thing
Sometimes so beautifulother times so vain
We ve built an empirethe blood is on our hands
Genocide and the chains that bind
The consequence ahead

Ohyou ought to know
Ohyou ought to know

Wrote about in history as if it s all O.K.
A race of people murdered another one enslaved
Now our world crumblesit s happening within
Open your eyes and realize
The world we re living in

Ohyou ought to know
Ohyou ought to know

If we could focus on important things
Live and let live true freedomnot everyone s the same
No more war for your godno more war for your race
It s our worldit s what we make it
Make it a better place

Ohyou ought to know
Ohyou ought to know

We can change the world that we re living in
Live and let live true freedom
Let the reign begin
