Dear American Government

The government tell us lies Making up their alibis Shoving “Democracy” down our throats When it’s really Dictatorship behind the cloak Send us to wars we don’t even need To satisfy their hunger for greed Spending more money than we have to spend Our debts are paid...Great, but when? You tap our phones and spy on us To see if we are dangerous You take our weapons so we can’t fight You’re taking away our Constitutional Rights Your power has over-stepped its bounds You are not kings, so remove you crowns And there is one thing that you have forgot: The People are in charge and you are not So government, here’s my advice: Your citizens will not always play nice If you upset them in any which way They will overthrow you, right now, today Always do the best that you can Even if some people are not a fan But put their interest always before yours And no more starting pointless wars Always respect the people’s rights The right to resist, the right to fight Tell them the truth and don’t hold back And the people will trust you and give you slack That is all I have to say And I hope you heed my words someday
