An adventure in secular morality shouldn't be an insurrection to us all
And a counterfeit political currency shouldn't stand as a patriotic call
All the vitriol and hyperbole testifies to vacant humanity
And the rabble that's pounding at the door
Don't know what they're standing for anymore
Show some understanding for
Those who kneel to implore know just what they're standing for
What's the lasting legacy of the humanistic progress that we made?
Or the blood that spilled for someone else's profit but would never be repaid?
There's a useless hope of the afterlife but it can't assuage all the toil and strife and the pious who were promised so much more
Don't know what they're standing for anymore
Show some understanding for
Those who can't hope for more know just what they're standing for
Find some understanding for
Those who kneel to implore know just what they're standing for
There's a sound in the attic of memories erratic
A firm resolution for an eternal constitution
The bravery of self-defense against the pall of ignorance
Shudder to adore
Those who don't know what they're standing for
Find some understanding for
Those who can't hope for more know just what they're standing for
Be someone who's standing for
Take a knee on the floor know just what you're standing for
