Power to the People

Power to the people!

 

We are gathered here to unravel,

The master plan for the masses

Justice moves swiftly as molasses

Let's uncover the lies untold,

before the casket's close

You see, I'm just speaking on what I know...

 

The dark man who stands brave and bold

Lays cold arms fold,

Sunday best dressed

He mirrors the coward who's lost in life

You see, that's the desired mold.

 

Conspiracy theories are all we're left with,

Left wing? Right wing

It doesn't matter, the truth still soars above our head.

Born and bred, in the land of the free!

Where everything is for sale.

Well we sailed across the sea just to see

Nothing is free

They'll leave us, floating in the well...

 

Pennies tossed for thoughts

I'll admit it, I scrapped and fought

For loose change,

I grabbed hold of the noose and hanged,

With the hopes of being drawn up

Out this hole

Just to hear the word, SOLD!

I'm sold to the show..

 

Improperly perceived as property

Probably why we don't believe in owning property.

Sheep without a sheppard,

We'll follow anyone to greener pastures,

But we have the power to close this chapter

If we just simply sift through the chapters.

 

The writing is on the wall..

 

The power is with the people.
