Here we go again with the promises and compromise the lies.
They all offered hope for a change;
men clapped loud women cried.
The new change is a lot like the old change.
Our masters are the same masters.
They are the Masters of The Universe.
"There's nothing wrong with common sense gun laws,"
says Big Brotha'...
While the Constitution seems a bit more inflexible, to me.
The poor continue to get poorer, for
the rich must continue to get richer.
And poverty becomes criminal.
Justice served is justice bought; just like you thought.
Our prison nation continues to sustain itself
by cruelly punishing those who've hurt naught.
The Land of The Free isn't all it used to be,
nor what it was meant to have been,
nor what one day could be.
There are false prophets about; Just look around,
can't you hear the sounds
coming from your Left and your Right?
People still live in their cars, on the streets, just miles away
from earthly palaces, ivory towers;
Places where plutocracy plays.
There is always the glimmer, the illusion
that something will give, someone will mean it.
There still remains our delusion of a choice.
Two sides race toward the finish, smiles ablaze.
They kick, punch, and don't pull a one.
Our mass media market makes it look like so much fun.
After the trumpets have sounded, the speeches been given,
our Sons and our Daughters, Brothers and Sisters
still die abroad for reasons we oft don't fathom.
Here we go again with another cycle
of the results we've been handed
by their lies and deceptions.
