lyrics

I refused to open my eyes – I did not want to see
And I kept ignoring their cries – what I don’t belief doesn’t happen, no it can’t be!
I never wanted to cause anyone any harm
Never thought that my personal choices would affect the lives on the animal farm
All I ever wanted was to be free and live self-determined
Never thought that my daily choices would make the lifes of others predetermined
But why do I feel such guilt – I am not responsible
Only did what I was told is right – like all the others I followed blind
How can this be, why couldn’t I see?
How can this be right, why was I so blind?
I never wanted to poison, destroy or partake in pollution
Never thought that my impassive life was equivalent to contribution
All I ever wanted was to ease my conscience with a feigned excuse
Never thought about an actual solution never brought myself to refuse
Now all I can think of is to cause anyone any harm
To the ones responsible for the way of suffering on the animal farm
All I still yet want for them is to be free and self-determined
Never again want an animals life to be through my actions predetermined
But then why do I still feel such guilt – For I am not responsible
Only ever did what I was told is right – like all the others as well, I followed blind
