The Big Mistake Video (MV)

Just look around on the street
And slowly tell me what do you see
Start with the weather and carry on
I can't go out I'm too old

It's been real hard on our state
Two world wars and one big mistake
Isolation, losing rights
Throughout my life only fights

Just look around on the street
And slowly tell me what you see
Tell me what's missing, how's the life
If there is someone still outside
And as I hear what you have to say
I'm slowly losing all my faith
The faith in humans, the faith in wit
The big fire is about to be lit

It's been real hard on our kin
To be locked up in the dark within
And right after we despoiled the velvet land
The big mistake is here again

And there might not be a lot of folks
Who still remember shutting doors
And being quiet on the streets
So you wouldn't feed the hungry ears
And if you're slightly out of line
You're being questioned, stamped as a liar
And next thing you know is a goodbye
And you are scared for your life

We used to sit by the fire
And slowly build our desire
Maybe one day we will cross the line
And publicly share what's on our mind
And the ones who fought with their bare hands
Would be embarrassed to see how it ends
And I thought that we would learn
But the party's place is already firm

There used to be something in our hearts
We used to call the national pride
Maybe it's late to put the fire down
But as sure as I breath I can try

And there might not be a lot of folks
Who still remember shutting doors
And being quiet on the streets
So you wouldn't feed the hungry ears
And if you're slightly out of line
You're being questioned, stamped as a liar
And next thing you know is a goodbye
And you are scared for your life
