Lyrics
A middle class mom crouches on the hill
Eyes behind binoculars she sits so still
Spots a boy going under the freeway
Whispers in her radio "go in for the kill"
Open your eyes, you're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark, open your eyes
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free, it's only for
Those who can afford to raise their voice
Say it's pollution, they say it's a sin
Mobilize their force to stop the demon within
They say it's not a battle it's a full scale war
Recruiting volunteers like never before
Open your eyes, you're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark, open your eyes
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free, it's only for
Those who can afford to raise their voice
Say it's so ugly they say it's an eyesore
But remember they're the ones who build department stores
Put ads on the benches, signs on the windows
Asphalt where the grass used to grow
Open your eyes, you're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark, open your eyes
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free, it's only for
Those who can afford to raise their voice
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official TEN FOOT POLE tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
