When I hear this song, I think about years from now, my brother's in high school, learning about what happened in 2000-2004 and beyond... He learns about the seperation of the people, the tension between the three sides; right, wrong, and don't care. Pictures like a yearbook of all the people who fought for the cause. Be it for the war, or for no war. I imagine how he will look back on these early years of the 21st century... He's only 6... What will have changed in the decade and some that it will take for him to become an adult? Will he become a soldier? Will he rally for peace? And his kids, and mine, and our grandchildren... and their children... What will they think of us when they read about it? Wil they call us heros or cowards? Will they call us greedy?

We'll never truly be free.
