Song lyrics

1.
Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence.
Your silence for your confidence.

Do you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut.
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must.

Do you feel what I feel?
Bittering distress.
Who decides what you express?

Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word.
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd.

Chorus. Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read.
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say.
Independence limited
Freedom of choice.
Choice is made for you, my friend.
Freedom of speech.
Speech is words that they will bend.
Freedom with their exception.

2.
Do you fear what I fear?
Living properly.
Truths to you are lies to me.

Do you choose what I choose?
More alternatives.
Energy derives from both the plus and negative.

Do you need what I need?
Boundaries overthrown.
Look inside, to each his own.

Do you trust what I trust?
Me, myself, and I
Penetrate the smoke-screen, I see through the selfish lie.

Chorus. Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read.
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say.
Independence limited
Freedom of choice.
Choice is made for you, my friend.
Freedom of speech.
Speech is words that they will bend.
Freedom with their exception.

3.
Do you know what I know?
Your money and your wealth,
Your silence just to hear yourself.

Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing.
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom's ring.

Chorus. Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read.
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say.
Independence limited
Freedom of choice.
Choice is made for you, my friend.
Freedom of speech.
Speech is words that they will bend.
Freedom no longer for you.

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read.
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say.
