They Were Wrong, So We Drowned
Verse 1
We trusted them, we voted for them
We believed in what we were told
They were powerful, they were fearless
They declared war against everyone
We were ignorant as to what was going on
They took advantage of their position
We continue to be complacent
They still control us
Verse 2
We relied on them, we answered to them
At times we received what we deserved
They were nefarious, they were demagogues
They wanted everything for themselves
We were ignorant as to what was going on
They took advantage of their position
We continue to be complacent
They still abuse us
Bridge
We were manipulated as if we were puppets
They saw themselves as our masters
Slavery continued well into the future
Crimes were committed every second
Our right to live was violated
Our right to be free was stolen
Our right to love was denied
Chorus 1
They were wrong, so we drowned
They were misled, so we died
Chorus 2
They were wrong, so we drowned
They were misled, so we died
We paid for the consequences of their actions
Chorus 3
They were wrong, so we drowned
They were misled, so we died
We paid for the consequences of their actions
And ours as well
They were wrong, so we drowned
