Army of Dreamers

from Army of Dreamers (2003, album) by Paul Sprawl

/

about

Manifesto in response to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Also very timely with the worldwide anti-corporatism rebellions of 2011.

lyrics

1.
We wanna live
Not afraid to die
Won't take comfort as a bribe
To live these lies
We won't trade our complicity
For this phoney freedom and democracy

~chorus~
We're an army of dreamers
Fighting to see
Through the fog that is everywhere
Imagine there's no enemy
Only you and me

2.
Our strength is truth and beauty
With its peace and love and discontented happiness
In the struggle with greed and avarice
And its poverty or mediocrity at best

~chorus~
We're an army of dreamers
Fighting to see
Through the fog that is everywhere
Imagine there's no enemy
Only you and me

-bridge-
Where are we
In the place called the land of the free
Isn't it closer on the spectrum
To an empire of hate than a new Jerusalem

3.
We're thriving unprotected
Under the radar, underground
Escaping the numbing anaesthetics
Energize the neocortex
Take another look around

~chorus~
We're an army of dreamers
Fighting to see
Through the fog that is everywhere
Imagine there's no enemy
Only you and me
