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 going 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 is only for those who can afford

To raise their voice

Say it is pollution

They say it is a sin
Mobilize their force to
Stop the demon within

They say it is not a battle
It is 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 is only for those who can afford
To raise their voice


Say it is so ugly
They say it is an eyesore

But remember
They're the ones who build department stores
Put ads on the windows

Asphalt where the grass used to grow
