Thread Name: BS: Taking Tyrany for Granted
Subject: BS: Taking Tyrany for Granted
All over the world in that famous attire We send fumbling statesmen with hopes to require That ours is the right and the true neverending With conscience requiting our freedom thats pending
With freedom as catchword their paradox stumbles From their stealth comes their wealth and a president's bumbles With one track and no slack he sticks to his gunning Uncaring for billions so weary of running
And what does he mean when he speaks of our freedom? For Christian he is, without loving to heed him Such is his concern, to remove us from choices And silence now all but the faintest of voices
Enlisting our youth with a team world conniving To tell us what dim witted fear is reviving When few are the proud, with the multitudes fretting Our fighting obscuring the free... to regretting
And the fun that is made of the sky as it's falling Does bring out our best for the dance they are calling So speak not of freedom with anger and bombs For deaf ears are turned into uneasy calms
And how many people... percentages please? Actually voted for this tyrany's tease... The rules they're a changin, to 'refined' forms of freedom Are passing unnoticed by those who should see them...
Can we put a value on democracy? and/or How much was your inflated 'freedom' worth to you... how much will it be worth if it's gone?
