I seem to remember
That on the 5th of November
A man in a mask
Sprang an attack
On a totalitarian regime
You see
He had this whole scheme
To overthrow these pigs
And to free the people
So they could really live
And on every 5th of November
We remember
His face
And his words
As they still echo around the world
Being heard
Again and again
Every year
And every year
It still resonates with the fear
That lives inside the minds
Of all us still here
And some days I wish the story was true
About the man in the mask . . .
But alas,
It was just a movie
That I loved as a kid
And I know now
We could never pop that lid
And reveal what the pigs really did.
