Us for Fools (To Iran) Songtext / Lyric

Verse 1:

We rise from the ashes, from earth down below, into the realm of skies.
They call us evil, the wicked who’s sown, seeds of an unholy mind.
We call for freedom. They see us a threat to their rule.
Chorus:

We want no kingdom or empire, but they take our lives, our fortune, and us for fools. Verse 2:

A life of confusion, running from the state.
Again disillusioned, the reason for all we hate.
I seek shelter from the war in the madness that reigns.
I seek shelter from the torture, shelter from the pain.
Verse 3:

Next stop Babylon, the magic carpet’s late.
One more tea and listen to my tale!
The hanging gardens are closed today.
The sugar in your tea wont melt away.

One more look it takes two to see. You’re misplaced in history.
Is this what you’d expected to see? Does this seem the land of Aladdin to thee?

The genie in the bottle is gay.
The president denies it before he goes to pray.
“We don’t have that kind around here.”
But the Vice and the President … Well that’s what people say.
One more look it takes two to see. You’re misplaced in history.
Is this what you’d expected to see? Does this seem the land of Aladdin to thee?
Verse 1:

We rise from the ashes, from deep down under, into the realm of disguise.
They call us evil, the wicked who’s blown winds and unholy thunders.
We call for freedom. They see us a threat to their rule.
Chorus:

We want no kingdom or empire.
But they take our lives, our fortune, and us for fools.
