Uetuko - 
Lyrics by Sugizo
The military dictators who cannot be dislodged,
The dishonorable democrats spattered in blood,
Why do they hate one another
While believing themselves God's choosen people?
They are the dogs of a "Manifest Destiny"**
Stained with materialism and the desire to rule.
They have been deemed righteous
And all who oppose them are evil.
Beautifully elaborate propaganda,
Illusions that stole our freedom,
They were constantly being rubbed into us
As the laughter of the weapons dealers echoed.
Endoctrinated with pretty ideals
The soldiers were sent to the field of battle
Their lives
The sacrificial victims
Addicted to War
All along everyone was robbed of the voice of truth, weren't they?
Nobody knows Truth, Nobody knows Dreams, Nobody knows Peace
Everyone continued to wander, believing that they were free.
Nobody knows Hurt, Nobody knows Life, Nobody knows Love
The wealthiest country in the world
Sells the most up-to-date weapons
And in order to show-off their capacity for destruction
Children are dying.
The mass media, puppets of military power,
No longer able to report truth,
Are absorbed by a thousand schemes
That praise war.
This influence is certainly
Not as complete as they would like.
No matter how hard they try to hold it down,
Some light still shines through.
Why can they not hear the pain of the earth?
Why can they not hear the cries of the children?
Don't repeat
The same mistakes.
All along everyone was living while being jerked about by the sins of the
media, weren't they?
Nobody knows Truth, Nobody knows Dreams, Nobody knows Peace
All along the dirty, behind-the-scenes truth was hidden, wasn't it?
Nobody knows Hurt, Nobody knows Life, Nobody knows Love
Let us offer the hand of truth to all the victims
And forgiveness to all those who are ignorant.
Will the wounded souls be one day healed?
Nobody knows Truth, Nobody knows Dreams, Nobody knows Peace
Will the soul of the children who are being murdered be saved?
Nobody knows Hurt, Nobody knows Life, Nobody knows Love
Father forgive them. They know not what they do...
