(Vs. 1) politics or love can make you blind or make you see make you a slave or make you free but only one does it all and it’s giving up your life for the ones you hate the most it’s giving them your gown when they’ve taken your clothes it’s learning to admit when you’ve had a hand in setting them up in knocking them down (chorus) love is not against the law love is not against the law (vs. 2) are we defending life when we just pick and choose lives acceptable to lose and which ones to defend ‘cause you cannot choose your friends but you choose your enemies and what if they were one one and the same could you find a way to love them both the same to give them your name (chorus)
