Dariush - exposin

Last night I was watching the news on TV
Saw Trump creating division between
Blue hate and red hate
So whatever
They both end up getting paid on the same scene
We out here looking for some better lives
Betting on politicians to make us see better times
Get better wages
Pay lower fines
Hoping our kids will follow our same path
Fuck that
No one can impose you a thought
Build it by yourself and stand by it when times get tough
Know it's value and whenever it gets rough
You have to agree on living and dying for that thought
I just think it's funny
How they called us terrorists
But drop bombs on a daily then act proud and arrogant
Can't be surprised attacks happen on your soil
When you do the same and worse for middle eastern oil
The UN is just here to give the appearance of peace
Go ask the Kurds what they know about peace
Ask the Somalis if they got rid of hunger
No longer wonder how many Yemenis are resting under
A death is a tragedy, a million's just a number
No wonder you don't care about Palestine
It ain't your region
But when freedom gets censored in one place
It's the whole world that grows darker
In Europe they promised me equality
Liberty, freedom of speech and equal opportunities
But it ain't no secret ISIS benefits western countries
Brother do you see the hypocrisy ?
Sending' soldiers to Libya, Afghanistan, Mali
Claiming they fighting for our peace, yeah hardly
But I see war crimes, invasions and hate signs
Empty stomachs here, but dollars signs on their side
My flag is up
I will never hold it down
Kill me if you want
You could never tear it down
My flag surely isn't a blue star
Nor red blue white
Just a simple earth
With no country flag
The world I want ain't a world I'll see
Cuz the world I found is full of "them" and "me"
All I can do is spread light in the darkness
And hope something will bloom from this seed
If we ignore that
Then John Lennon died for nothing
Huey died for nothing
Arafat died for nothing
Fred Hampton
Mossadegh
And Malcolm X
All died for nothing
And I'll be dead for nothing
Rest in pieces in the Middle East
So that they can rest in peace in the land of the free
I don't know about you
But I'm done with this bullshit
Using international law
As a tool for their "motions"
Is that what you call them?
Well let me remind you
Defence and army
Aren't the same notions
Let me remind you
That when chemical bombs dropped
The UN not only didn't talk
But hid behind their slogans
Let me remind you
That what the West was yesterday
Is what the Middle East is now
So I don't appreciate
Being looked down upon
Frowned at
Moral compasses imposed
But they come with AK's and blood baths
