We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be
We are what we are
That's the way it's going to be
You can't educate me
For no Christianity
Talking about my freedom
Yeah, freedom and liberty

'Cause we've been trodding on the wine press much too long
Repent
We've been trodding on the wine press much too long
Repent

Babylon System is the vampire
Sucking the children day by day
Babylon System is the vampire
Sucking the blood of the sufferers
Building church and university
Deceiving the people continually
Them graduating thieves and murderers
Sucking the blood of the sufferers

Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
(We've been trodding on the wine press much too long)
Tell the children the truth
(We've been trodding on the wine press much too long)
Tell the children the truth
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)
Tell the children the truth
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)
Tell the children the truth
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)
Tell the children the truth
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)
Tell the children the truth
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)
Tell the children the truth
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)
(We've been trodding on the wine press far too long)

I can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore (I can't live)

I can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore
Oh... oh... oh...
Oh... oh... oh...
